Authority of coaching staff

[Laker]

Coaching involves a learning curve....so does playing....

So does parenting. How many of us are truly objective about our kids?

There are far more parents trying to live vicariously through their kids than guys like your old man, biting their tongues at stupid coaching....

This. I coached and had a long talk with my sister who didn't think that the coach was giving my niece a fair shake in basketball. I pointed out that she played post and really didn't have the height for it. Told her that she could expect to have even less playing time as she got into high school. She switched sports and started in hockey. Meanwhile, her basketball team went to state.

Too many parents just can't see things realistically and do a LaVar Ball.
