[quote=Anonymous]I can’t blame a grieving parent for losing all perspective on something that might devastate her surviving child, but her request is inappropriate if she’s trying to get you to lobby for the coach reversing his decision. OP, I don’t know if there is a graceful way to handle this, but I think you need to remind your friend that you have no control over who makes the team and no influence over the coach. **If you and your ds think her son would accept a non playing role gracefully,** have your son ask the boy if he would be interested in being an equipment manager or some such role. If the boy says yes, it’s okay for you to ask the coach if there’s any sort of role on the sidelines for this kid, given that [this sport] has been his lifeline through some very challenging times. No pressure, just a simple ask. If you’re respectful to the coach and prepared to accept no for an answer without any rancor, it shouldn’t pose any issue for your son.[/quote]
