[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BSC reminds me of a joke I once heard about Buenos Aires that goes something like the following: "Argentina would be a great country if not for the Argentinians."

Apply the same concept to Bethesda and the parents and you'll hit 80% of the clubs problems and why Shannon left -- The parents are the problem and Shannon was not able to manage them.

I heard that the MRM Rush parents didn't even want to join the club because of how whinny the BSC parents are. [/quote]

Managing parents is part of the job unfortunately, and I agree it’s not an easy task at Bethesda.

Managing the parents is directly done by the coach not the TD,[b] unless the coach is so bad that the parents would go directly to the TD to complain[/b].

A good coach would set the team and individual player expectations with the parents. [/quote]

Lol at the bolded.  You think a good coach will always lead to happy parents?  That's just not the way it works.  I have seen many, many situations where a good coach does a good job of setting expectations with players and parents, but parents still go ballistic when the coach fails to give the kid the playing time the parent thinks they deserve.  These parents will go straight to the TD to complain and try to get the coach reassigned or their kid moved up.  TDs absolutely need to be able to figure out how to support their good coaches and intervene with struggling coaches while trying to get parents to stay calm and stay invested in the program.

I'm the PP.  You have a good point.  I was thinking as a rational parent and not as a BSC parent.  LOL[/quote]
