This situation has persisted in McLean with parents NOT complaining about JA, the girls TD. I would complain. These coaches think they are bullet proof. If a few parents do complain, things can happen. But usually everyone is caught up staying silent for fear of reprisal. So nothing changes.

That’s super cruel! The other kids are learning from the coaches comments. I don’t know, I might say something to the coach. Tough situation and extremely uncool behavior from the coach.

We are leaving next season for other reasons.

Good that you’re leaving.

In one instance he screamed "Pass to the wing! Pass to the wing!" but then sat down and said to the kids on the bench, "oh, it was so and so on the wing--good thing they didn't pass to them". The two other kids laughed with the coach but my kid was kind of aghast. Came to me after the game and saying "that didn't seem right to say that" about another kid. It didn't seem right to me either that a coach would engage in that teen level of banter with the players and thought it set a really bad example.

Question: would you mention this to so and so's parents? I know they've had issues with the coach and suspect if I mentioned it they would go ballistic. However, it would pretty quickly get back to the coach my kid was the one who said something, and this coach is not beyond petty repercussions.

Why have your own child in that sick environment?
