re: Question about youth sports

Some parents are idiots. They are not doing their kids any favors. There is a reason he is probably coaching and he is probably doing the same thing that happened to his son. Was on a team where the coaches son was getting all the shots.

That's not teaching those kids anything. Since he is stuck on a team coached by an idiot, tell him to take his shots if he feels like he is in position to get a good shot in.

If I was coaching a team playing against them and saw that they ran everything through him I would have my defense on that kid like white on rice. I don't know how complex the game is played at 8 years old, but I bet that kid will not even play HS ball. The dad will think the kid is better than he is and when the coach isn't playing him enough the kid will end up quitting.... Unless he goes to some small private school.

I bet he doesn't even coach them much on defense right?
