@TRB Let's just say I have seen more and more of it every year at multiple levels. It's just bad character the way I see it. I remember a few years a go watching a game where the kids from the opposing were yelling "Daddy Ball" from the dug out as they destroyed the other team whose dad coached kids were placed at 2B and SS that could not make routine plays. I'm sure the other team chanting did not help their mental state either. Blame that on the daddy-ballers who accused the other team of unsportmans like conduct.
Just to clarify. Both teams were dad coached. It's just the one team getting beat playing daddy-ball. I could not tell who the kids were who on the chanting team. This was clearly a very good coach that knew his players abilities and made them fit to make a very competitive team.
