Has your son talked to his coach and asked for his help? Asked him for recommendation? Might help you decide if you want his as part of the process?
The players find him unapproachable. One time the coach laughed at a parent and walked away when the parent told him he intimidates the players. He was upset the parent approached him about an academic issue. The last time (last year) my son approached him the coach publicly humiliated him. The first time my son hit a homer he stuck out his hand rounding third and the coach stepped away and folded his arms. He's having an awesome year and the coach has said nothing positive to him. After the team wins he rips whatever they did wrong. He has said nothing positive to any of the three showcase players even though they are all having excellent seasons. He has mentally abused one of the showcase players (not my son) so badly the kid has a fu attitude towards the coach (in private). I call this an undetermined wild card.
