Thank you that is more of what I am looking for. Experience is a great teacher and if I can learn from your experiences that is great. Sounds like your son was taken good care of by the coach. I only hope that someday my son will be able to say the same. Right now with the coaches outlook on ptiching (7 innings or we can't use you) I don't believe that will be true.
Ahh, don't get me wrong, there was a time we had to speak up. That pitcher only, began to throw a lot more earlier in his senior year then he should have and that was the ONLY time Mr. TPM told any coach in the presence of the AD what he was going to do and not do. But on the whole, he was pretty well taken care of, the coach had to make his adjustments.
There comes a time, IMO, when health becomes an issue, a parent has a right to speak up, other than that, you have to learn to go with the flow to see how things play out.
