NEXT, S10 has basketball practice. Calls after a few minutes, asking to get picked up. H goes to get him. S10 had asked the coach to actually do something w/them instead of talking to the other parents. (They've lost every game enough to turn off the scoreboard, and the coach won't let anyone help, but won't coach either... sits and txt's during the game!!!) Coach told him to do 100 push ups. S10 told him to stick it basically, and that no one would get better w/him txting all the time, and wasn't doing them. LEFT THE BUILDING - Calls us, etc... Now I wouldn't applaud, or even allow this, but the Coach is a COMPLETE jackas$! We told S10 he gets a pass on this one, but to discuss how to handles situations like that in the future.
WOW. I would be proud, yet scared too. definitely a good idea to talk with him on how to deal with authority. Can't believe the coach would be doing that. does he get paid?? Even our upward coaches are very involved with the kid's games, they might not always be the best coaches as they are volunteers, but very involved in helping the kids improve. Sounds like maybe the coach is having an MLC or A.
