What do you guys think

Sounds like the same stuff that was said about Paddock playing the whole game. "let us see what the backup can do". Over the ears Little League parents have been the worst. Yes the kid that quit should have been cut from the team. Social media is a pox on this nation. I coached 7th and 8th grade B team basketball and it was all about developmental basketball. At some point during the season they all got into a game. For most it would be their only year to play organized basketball. I had one or two go on to play at the varsity level at Anderson High School. One of the players went on to become an outstanding cross country runner for Anderson University and his son for Lapel. forty players is too many. Notre Dame put Rudy in the game so why not a bench warming 7th grader? Favoritism? We have said that same thing about Neu and last year.

I ran a 8 and 9 year old baseball league in the seventies for two years in the park department in Goshen. We only played five innings to save the pitchers arms. It was hard to find kids that could throw strikes at that age. It was really hard to get all the kids to play when you only play five innings. I had a deal with the kids that if they did not play in a game the next game they would start. The kids liked this deal. It was a big thing to start. Some of the parents did not like it but it worked out to the kids satisfaction. Each team played twice a week so every week every player was in the starting line up.

It's pretty obvious that the child of "Main Parent" is not as interested in football as Main Parent is. I would patiently explain to Main Parent that while his son may have some talent, he lacks the commitment to continue on the team. Therefore, the son has been released from his obligation to the football team so he can be free to pursue a life of intellectual and religious fulfillment.

Then tell Main Parent to fuck off.

Deleted original post cause some moms got it twisted up. Coaches mentioned the situation rather harshly and the team did some extra running nothing extreme

I don’t know would not have been my approach but I guess they made their point

I talked to my son who said the initial report was exaggerated. The coach did say something along those lines and they did do some extra running but nothing extreme. Appearantly the stories grew from mom to mom. My son would not elaborate saying it’s a team thing and that the best would play.

Nah the coaches never did anything wrong. The substitutions may not be how I or someone else might do them but the coaches are not obligated to play everyone. The social media posting by parents is the problem that’s where the drama comes in. The kids even the ones involved to my knowledge never said a word about PT
