[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has done the crappy job of team manager for years (wish someone else would!) and it never occurred to him to do a gift.  I’ve never heard of it for paid coaches.
But if you’ve done it in past years and people are  expecting it, I think it’s polite to send an email just saying you can’t coordinate anything this year but if anyone else wants to, they should feel free.  I wouldn’t mention individual gifts because then people might think that’s expected.[/quote]

Ding! Ding! Ding! When a man is the team manager, no team gift.  Why do women create more work for themselves?[/quote]

Our team manager is man and he organized the team gift - this isn't a gender thing.  And our coach is paid but parents gladly chipped in for a gift because he was excellent.  OP I think a gift is optional for a job well done.  The incident you described sounds bad, but was it a one-off or out of character?   I'd be pissed about but I wouldn't necessarily decide not to organize a a gift if overall I  thought the coach had been good throughout the season.     [/quote]
