Team is also playing/played for a tournament championship, so the hated coach must be doing something correct.

So much petegeezus in this. Stop worrying about stupid stuff Pete. I know he’s your world and you love him with all your being.
You want to improve his life for the better? Put him in a normal league. Spend that $3k annually on a math/science tutor. When he “walks on” at local university with an academic scholarship and zero expense to you and the husband, and comes out of it making more than his father, you can then look back and know you did it right. |

About a week ago I took one of the absolute nastiest dumps in my life. I should have been executed for how nasty it was

And the coach you think is doing something right, ran them and the rest of our "good players" into the ground in a game that meant nothing and 3 hours later in the final they were gassed because our coach was so worried about winning a game that didn't matter. |

He’s 22. Wtf do you expect? He’s probably just doing what his coaches did when he was playing. Maybe it’s bad coaching, but trust me when I say, this won’t be the last bad coach you have. If half of the seasons in the next 10 years, your son plays for a good coach, you should take that as a win. Also, remember that there is usually more things the coach is juggling than what the parents consider. You may not have all the info needed to say whether your son is getting screwed. |

I haven't said anything to him and it isn't about just my kid. But nonetheless if someone doesn't ever tell you that you're doing something wrong and you think you're doing things right, how do you ever get better? But whatever. Point of the thread was to ask other parents when they have decided to say something to a coach. |

I mean you can't tell kids to work hard for what they want then turn around and say it doesn't really matter. Now whether they achieve what they want to achieve or not is a different discussion. |

Sports is littered with try-hard kids that end up being passed over. Mostly by other kids that also work hard, but are just better. And occasionally kids that don’t work hard or even care, but are just that much more physically blessed. I would say, relax and sit tight until the end of the season. If it’s still bugging you, find a new team. In the next 4-6 years, your kid will either rise to the top, or get left in the dust. That’s sports. But regardless, he won’t be dwelling on this one game (or even this season). |
