This is at the college level, there's multiple witnesses as this happened during practice. I also fear that if my son were to bring up the issue to the AD, he would forever be labelled as a kid that no coach would ever want because he was the one that spoke up.
Yeah, I would say, at the college level, you're screwed. If a coach is winning, he's a czar and holds all the cards. It's probably worse now with all the transfers. The pipeline is so full of replacement players that a player on the roster is easily disposable. Plus, college rosters are deep. There's always an immediate replacement too. These HC can basically do and say whatever they want since they hold all the cards.
Sorry that your son has to deal with it.
