Ha-ha, I have to disagree! Unless he's getting a full-ride (not likely), parents (who will be paying) need to participate in the decision!

I agree. We talked to him about finances, grades, majors, etc. We went on college visits. I did research on the various institutions and we talked about whether they were a good fit. We had conversations with him about his conversations but did not participate with weekly calls with coaches. Literally talked to the head coach once — when he made his offer. When it came down to it, it was his decision. JMO
