".....this practice was called the night before and I had already told them I'd be gone."
If a practice was on a schedule, fine. But don't expect everyone to be there for a practice called THE NIGHT BEFORE!
Keewart,
That tidbit of info came later. But this only adds to the point I was trying to make.
I don'the think a coach benches a player because he missed a practice that was called the night before.
BTW was the player told that was the reason, or was this his perception?
He made his decision and that was great, but it just appeared that a main reason was that the coach was a jerk.
I like to help people but it's hard sometimes, this post is one of the reasons why.
