Not sure why parents should be worried then In the original post of this thread, it sounds like the coach figured out who to reprimand. In your example zomby, it appears the coach was also able to figure things out.

Assuming there are wise-guys out there, I am more than confident that coaches will catch on to them in a hurry and will have no problem weeding them out. Sabotage, politics, back-stabbing, etc., etc., is part of the human condition. Tell the boy to keep his nose to the grindstone, control what he can control (his attitude and effort) and let the coaches figure out who the troublemakers are.

Also, I am guessing even the most incompetent coach in America is not going to make a roster decision on one throwing drill. There are other partners to pair with and other tryout activities in which to show what they can do.

The Eddie Haskell routine is easy to spot. Relax. That is why they invented coaches.
