[quote=Anonymous]Do the kids look similar?

If it is a homogeneous group with similar ability or similar bad ability, the coach may not have kept good track. I mean it is only fifteen minutes.

Bad move to go up to coach in the middle of a game. If anything, it should be at the end of a game or after a pattern of several games.

And rec teams don’t play all the kids the same amount of time. Some may but definitely not all or even most.

Our friend coached a basketball team and one of the parents called him racist. The team was half black and half white and the best kids on the team were black plus the coach’s white child. Coach often played the best kids who happened to be black and I guess he gave his own child more playing time than benched child who was black. Coach said he often played 4 black kids at a time so how could he be racist. If anything, he didn’t play the white kids as much. Our friend stopped coaching after that and his white son is often the only white starter on the teams he plays on.[/quote]
