[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on this post, the coach probably already knows this bothers you and might just intentionally see how long you can handle it.

They may also think you and/or your daughter are not a great fit and could be fine with you leaving too. If there are distractions, sometimes you get better via subtraction, even when talent level is high.

Obvious troll post.[/quote]

I don't think this is a troll post. The coach could have easily figured out there is a whiny parent who may not be worth dealing with. The former players who are very competitive and claim to know everything can be the worst to deal with. OP has basically identified themselves in this way in a couple of posts! Why rock the boat with the long-term structure of the group if the team is fine without the player too. You just keep doing what you are doing as the coach and see if the kid and family adapt. If not, the parent will have an outburst and/or leave, which you are fine with. It is far better than changing everything for a player who isn't the best at their choice position only to have additional problems with that parent and others anyway.

Parents can hurt playing time and situations a lot. [/quote]
