Happened to local Private HS last 3 years. Legendary 44 yr, 800 win coach. He's at the point where he just does menial coaching. His son does 99 % of the coaching. 2 boys playing for Carolina dont speak to him. Entire senior class of 2017 didnt go out for team senior year. This years seniors went to 19-2 and he was "off the rails" & " out of his mind " they completely stopped talking to the staff and tanked 3 straight games ending the season. Coaches from Duke, Penn State and Darmouth , St. Josephs have all been treated like garbage. Elon commit transferred just before season. His father told me that the coach was calling and bashing his son daily months before season started. A hard coach whos trying to bring out the best in a boy is one thing, but a bad coach who's really an ass and doesnt promote or praise his teams efforts will never get the best out of the boys. play summer ball. Get the bad taste out of your mouth. Seriously think of transferring. This coach will not help in recruiting. Neither will your travel team either really. Its up to you & your son to get your names on radars and your son in front of targeted coaches. Theres a lot of talented players wanting finite spots. There is no room for being shy, timid. If he wants something, tell him to 1000%. Dont worry, a coach will tell you when its time to stop. Best of luck.
