[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]as a long time team manager, I find this thread hilarious and spot on. thank you OP.

And whoever suggested rating system like Uber drivers - yesssssss. [/quote]

I think it would be best for team managers to lay low because they rarely occupy the high ground. Lots of bad self interested managers out there. [/quote]

So many terrible parent managers. Don’t want the issues that come with the volunteer job, don’t volunteer to do it. Your volunteer job exist because the coach doesn't want to deal with it and you happily volunteer. [/quote]

I am sorry - are you implying that any and all behavior is supposed to be tolerated because one actually volunteered for the job?  Surely you think there might be a limit?  I think part of the TM job is to deal with that behavior. I agree. But I damned well would not just tolerate it. I would address this person directly and tell them to knock it off or find another team to disrupt. [/quote]

And to be clear, I would do that regardless of whether I was the TM. I don’t see any reason why other parents cannot weigh in if the behavior is sufficiently bad or disruptive. [/quote]

OP here, thanks.  Interestingly, the nightmare mom's daughter was also very disruptive.  Skilled player, but horrible attitude and toxic for the team.   Best thing that ever happened was when she left.[/quote]
