[quote=Anonymous]My DS is on a team that made it to the "playoffs". The coach also coaches an elite, upper-level, higher skills team. For the playoffs, he brought in a couple of kids he coaches at the higher level to play on my DS's team. They are not team members.

There were two boys I didn't recognize -- I'm not super involved in the team so I just figured I hadn't noticed them before. I do go to all the games, though, so I noted that I did not recognize these kids. I sat next to some parents who said they were rooting for the "Insert color here" (our team). I said, oh, the "Insert actual name of team here"? They looked at each other blankly and said, "I guess?" Then they said, oh, he doesn't actually play on the team. He's on the upper level of play but the coach asked him to play just for this game.

WTF? I am so upset. Did the coach really think it was okay to stack the team with higher level kids? Our team "won" -- I put that in quotes because they cheated -- but I feel like they don't deserve it. I'm really angry. They should have had the chance to win -- or lose -- on their own merits.

Now I have zero respect for the coach. What kind of man is so insecure that [b]he[/b][i] needs his team to win? The experience is supposed to be for the kids, not the coach. If they lost, that would have been a learning experience. Now they've "won" the championship by cheating.

What should I do? I don't want to talk to my DS about his coach in a negative way but.... I just said, without mentioning specifics, "I want to tell you again that it's better to lose than to win by cheating, and we don't live or play by a 'win at all costs' mentality." He just looked at me like, why are you telling me this?

This is a large organization that plays more than one sport out of a lot of schools. I am so disgusted with them. (Also with the parents of the kids who were bused in to play on our team. Why did they think that was okay to do? To have their kids used like that, and be taught it's okay to play that way????)

I don't want my DS playing under that coach anymore. I have no respect for him as a person or as a coach.

My DS loves the sport. Should I just move him to a new organization and keep the info to myself?

So, so disgusted.....
