[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]as a former coach but still parent to a player who had this situation arise, they need to recognize that all the kids aren't there to make it to the next level and it is about fun and the coach needs to check his ego at the door.

Perfect example of this.  last weekend my kids team which is average was down in the first quarter with the "starters" in against the other teams non starters.  In the second, the non starters on our team against the starters on the other team and they pull ahead.  The one guy on the team who has never scored- scored a few baskets and it got them going.  In the forth quarter with a 6 point lead he pulls out the non starters who built the lead to put in the "starters" and they end up losing the game.

Any and all confidence the non starters built up in themselves was gone, the kid who scored his first baskets -the excitement was gone because of the ego of the coach to try to win the game but in the end it cost them a lot more.

it sounds like your kids coach is in coaching for the wrong reasons.  [/quote]

this Is my post and I also wan tot add, to be a REC coach you have to understand everyone on the team.  If he is being the ego maniac, there is probably turnover on the team.  Turnover on a rec team is the first sign of a bad coach.  most rec teams have been together for years with little turnover and I am willing to bet this team has a turnover rate of 2-3 players each year.
