Irresponsible reporting. that could stay on a forum, or even questioned directly between parties involved....but to be reported as if is the gospel...No sah, rag paper stuff
Parents and Fans alike cannot question the methods of any coach, either support him or not, remove him or not. but everyone methods different..in the most humblest of scenarios, one or few truant individuals - not necessarily bad boys, jus miserable dat day, could always quote some negative statement the coach made to them, and next thing, is the man method to waste down youths..juss yesterday, as reported to my wife from my daughter(a saint by all other parents) about an incident we had "I cuss her up and 2 strangers too". Ah long story, but doh an incident occured, not as 1st reported, the one stranger, and she (later) apologized to me, yet the story was already sent. Sorry parents ah not buying it, very few chirren are saints, ah personally don't know none...As Coops correctly alluded, a lot of minor details involved pre/interim/post facets of the game and in parents situ they are mostly reactive, cause they looking out for 1 or 3. where as the 2/3 coaches have to lookout for a few hundred...Yet I do understand the difficulty for the parent (as one a few times), they can't act like the 3 monkeys, see no evil etc..but the true test is controlling or determining the response, "is meh child for god sake", I over 50 and to this day, if ah had a bad game, meh mom saying cause ah playin with ah sh%$ team.....What is ah parent to do ? What is support ? Honestly, I don't have the answer, I have been in situation a few times, and I told my kids, well yuh would just have to show him "yuh is ah star den". As an ex-coach of young men, if they acted like stars, I went along with it,(as long as they did not diss any other players", and reminded everyone that much were expected of them, as they were already at such a high level"..Worked for me, but don't mean it would work in Paris or POS.there is rarely a correct plater for an issue everywhere...so what works, I feel, support yuh child and pick them up, and for them if yuh want - doh spoil dem doh, buh to publicly stone the coach, who they may probably be working with for the next few years, then dont expect positive results all around then, as to much damage would have been done to all parties involved...
ps: fish, BsC was one of the most Caustic coaches I have ever observed (only 1 session) in my life. I never read he was personable at all. doh his results we good, and I never hear parents complain, or read a REPORT about such..so maybe what I observed was or was not true, I not puttin in the news who he really is.
