[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not following the Joking comment, but it sounds like the game has gotten away from your son.  If he's on the bench then he has 2 options, find ways to improve and grind or find another sport.  I don't recommend a new team unless option 1 is in play.  He needs to address his skill/physical gaps.  Why pay the current club or a new club if he's content just sitting there?  [/quote]

As with anything these days I'm thinking we're hearing the last half of a story. A story where the first half was OP's DS's team was getting spanked and DS made a joke from the bench to fill in the cognitive dissonance of why he's on the bench or why they're losing. Joke possibly targeted a mistake by a teammate or even a coaching tactic. Coach heard the joke and later said "Go on the field and start joking." -- meaning if you think it's so funny then go show us better.

I'm not even advocating for this style of coaching, I'm not defending it, I'm simply pointing out that's really the only thing that makes any type of sense. In my experience, yes coaches say things for BAD reasons, but Coaches don't say things for NO reason. There was a reason and I'm leaning towards the reason was not DS being a goofball 7 years ago.
