1 million percent. This thread is exactly why many higher level teams don't even allow parents to stay and watch practices.

I know a coach that was coaching one of the MLS Academy teams. He was telling me about during tryout the mom of the best player on the team was questioning him about playing time and playing position. He was called over and cut from the team immediately.

When you have coaches that are being paid and paid well they do not want to deal with crap from parents.

In summary, pete, you are in the wrong.
