I assistant coach my son's baseball team and we are all about having all the boys play. My son is 9.

My only constructive criticism is that, perhaps, unless I missed it above, I would have told H that I was going to go over and speak with the coach 'if you are uncomfortable doing so.' Overall, I don't think you did anything wrong outside of that.

More importantly, overcoming fears like this is a part of the growth that comes from this whole horrible mess we go thru. Eg, many men are afraid of their wives. Here..if you are an LBH, many men allow their WAW's to go out and doodle other men out of fear of drawing a boundary. No more.

Anyway, similar to asking for directions, we men like to figure things out ourselves. Asking directions when WE are driving undercuts us (explaining this tongue in cheek). Talking to the coach undercut him and he got P.O.'d.

I think you are fine.
