My high school baseball coach was an arse
Pretty much all the helicopter parents had relationships with him. So shitty players would make the team over more deserving players just because their parents had a good relationship with the coach. You know the types of parents who would go to the coach and pressure him and say "MY BOY HE PLAYED SELECT ON THIS TEAM AND THAT TEAM AND THIS TEAM FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS AND BOY IS HE GOOD NO WAY YOU CAN NOT TAKE HIM FOR YOUR TEAM" even though the kid was arse in tryouts.
Stacked deck. The coach even tried to implement a rule that you had to play select ball to even tryout for the team, and it got vetoed by the school board since a large percentage of our students came from disadvantaged households who could not afford it.

That's fricking retarded. Sounds like something my high school football coach would do if they could.
