Great point- I never said when we got to the car exactly when the coach hat came off!! LOL. Can't say we haven't "discussed" a few games in the car on the long ride home! He's usually pretty aware about things and I usually let him explain his thought process - like what were you thinking leaving the ball over the plate on an 0-2 count

over the many years we have seen too many coaches that were dads leave the coaching ranks to get away from the unpleasantness of raving parents who were unknowledgeable disrespectful and pretty much out there just for either themselves and their son . Take your pick

those parents would never dream of doing it themselves and would fail miserably if they did. Its about them and or their son and that's it .

amazing how long these volunteer dad coaches stick around , I would be gone real quick even if being paid for it.

Too bad parents get involved they can ruin it for everyone involved Ive seen it too many times. Kids know it too.
