[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a PR firm or friend of Cabell - and I'm not Cabell. I'm a parent of a lacrosse player who has been with (basically) the same group of boys playing Madlax for several years.  VLC does not have the talent at his age group and from what we have observed, they have coaching inconsistencies that have hurt them. Talk to a parent of a VLC U13AA/rising U15AA player.  Blackwolf is a great program from what I understand. The cost is about the same. My son was invited to play and has considered playing for the 2018 team.  But what it comes down to for him right now is that he is having a great time playing with a great group of boys and he has made friendships that are important to him.  To me that is what team sports are about.  My son is old enough to form his own opinions about people and their behavior. We have discussed what happened, but I don't feel the need to preach to him about Cabell's bad behavior; he is able to see it for what it is. We have left the decision to him. If he wanted to leave madlax because of what Cabell did, that would be fine with me.  This is a great life lesson for him as he will unfortunately encounter people like Cabell his whole life. He sees that Cabell is imperfectbehav and human and capable of embarrassing himself by making big mistakes. I understand that some people get more outraged over this kind of behavior  This is just our way of handling it.[/quote]

This is just the type of thinking that bad football coaches or bad basketball coaches to keep existing. Parents and kids stay with these losers because they love the team or it is providing opportunities for their kid. If you keep supporting these guys,they think they can keep on doing this stuff.  What you are also showing your kid is that as long as the behavior doesn't affect him, bad behavior is ok. What lesson does that teach him?[/quote]

See I understand what the PP is saying ... it's not about just the one guy in charge, it's about the team that the kids play with, the challenge of the game, the opportunities for play, etc.

My child plays a few sports and does dance.  There are some coaches and policies that I don't like but overall they don't impeded the progress or play of the games so I tolerate them.  I am not the one on the field playing or in studio dancing - my child is. If she is happy, comfortable and is getting a good experience, then I am not motivated to make a change just to make a statement as an adult.

The family who was on the receiving end of the email - they made a change and it was clearly the right one for them.[/quote]
