re: Youth Sports - Are people really this crappy

You're going to get a lot of hardass answers about your kid not being good enough.

I just have questions. Was it previously established that it's a competitive league, because the mandated playing time suggest otherwise?

If the playing time wasn't mandated, but was done to give every kid a chance throughout the season, was it communicated ahead of time that the playing time would change for the championship?

Either way, I hope you used it as a learning opportunity and motivational opportunity.

ETA: I don't think the coach was wrong necessarily, just potentially a poor communicator.
