re: High school football coach resigns after parents try to influence playing time

Anyway, very very few high school coaches are spiteful to the point where they let an a player who is an asset to the team, sit on the bench. I wont say id doesn't happen but the extreme vast majority of coaches are going to put the best player on the field.

Most coaches who want to be successful will play their best players. Some cater to the other teachers’ kids or the parents who bark the loudest. I like track and cross country also. You can’t argue about who is the fastest or who jumps farther or higher.
We have had some idiot coaches and some good ones too. My daughter couldn’t make junior high softball team because of the coaches. She was a better athlete than all those that did make the team. So she stuck with doing track and basketball. She was the only one in her class to get to play Division 1A college sports.
