If the db coach is going to have a serious heart to heart with him and tell him to grow a pair or get out of the way so he's not doing DAMAGE then great... if the db coach is just going to baby this guy hoping he starts to show up now and then I think you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of dissappointment.
It's a caulculated risk I'm taking, Allen. My H should be educating himself, but he's so far from doing that that leaving him to his own devices seems more doomed to fail for all of us , esp child's needs. Would love to be a fly on the wall...
