You are clearly not a private school parent with those names.

DC has had multiple Jacksons, Cadens, and Aidens of various spellings at all three privates attended since toddlerhood to high school. It’s true I don’t remember any Jaydens, though.

It should be Jacks, James, Lukes, Maxes, Owenses.

We have Jaydens at our private. Someone seems to think there are still private schools with no racial diversity.

If the coach's behavior violates the mission and ethos of the school, his superior needs to know about it. This cannot be about winning/losing or who is playing. The other behavior is the problem (though it may be contributing).

If you don't want to speak up because you don't want your own kid blackballed (though how bad would that actually be under this particular circumstance), have a team parent meeting with the AD or send a letter that all parents sign on to. If the other parents aren't on board, you have the answer to your thread.

Agree with this minus the writing a letter that other parents sign onto. And, realistically a team meeting will be tough because many people will be reluctant to speak up. If you are friendly with other parents you can gauge where people are at, but if not just meet with the AD yourself and focus on how school mission does/does not align with Coach’s approach.

Sounds like the AAU basketball team we left after being a starter, suddenly picked new ones and only played them. The ones whose parents grease the wheels. Not even tall. Only plays are layups.

Just have a five person team then, since everyone else good left.

See ya in the flip side!

Agree, this.

lol aligns with the mission. which is mommy is unhappy so the coach must be wrong. He yells at them. Grew up in Texas and played sports, this area is such a joke when it comes to sports. No wonder there are ref and coaching shortages. SNOWFLAKES. I also want to know what local private has d one talent all over the roster and is losing because the coach is mean? Son is playing right now in the IAC what team?
