    In a different article, it stated that the one parent was upset that coach wasn’t high fiving their kid enough on the bench.

    starting to see why he lost it and sent the email

    Non-rich parents usually don't have the time or money to be entitled dick-sneezes about children's sports.

    So it sounds as if this is a chronic problem there.

    But, still, I don't get parents. For a lot of reasons.

    Agreed. When it said sarcastic I thought it was going to be highly over the top like "as you know, I obviously do not have very much experience nor connections to the college game, and as such I'm still trying to navigate the best avenues to get players recruited."

    Instead he's like "well, since I'm quitting you guys will need to find someone to do the training program this summer."

    Def a dumb move, but he was a new coach and I’m guessing he was a little shocked at getting raked over coals after taking the girls to the state title game.

    I don’t know how anyone coaches anymore

    our precious little girl wasn’t named captain at the banquet! **** off!!
    Not as shocked as you might think. Although it's pretty funny that they seem to need a sport scholarship to pay for their kids college...

    But it sure seems as this action tanked that possibility.

    larry olimb is one of my favorite all time college players. One year of high school coaching, all the way to state title game - and some parents chased him out.
