1) Francis, your kid plays at a very good program. What are they in week 2 of practice? Don't worry about it.
2) A parent or anyone else can feel anyway they like saying they don't have a right to feel a certain way is silly. How you/they react and respond is what matters and I think there are certain situations that unless you've been in them, you really can't say how'd you'd respond. Me personally I think anything short of physical/physiological abuse, they are in college now, they need to deal with it.
3) As much research as a family can do, you can't and won't learn everything. How many coaching changes were there this off season? This is what it is, and I think in a lot of situations if a parent started showing up at practices (because it'll take more than one) that would likely be a red flag to a lot of coaches.
I love Francis' posts, but you know that isn't happening.
