No I'm not talking about statman being the next FP Radio guest. At a recent tournament I had a parent approach me about our team and tryouts. She had a DD on a team we were playing. I told her I would be happy to talk to her after the season and answer any questions she might have. She kept talking and filled me in on all the details about her current team and situation and why they were not happy and all the stuff going on - typical travel ball drama. She said she is coming to tryouts and would like to play for us.
My question is: Is it kosher to talk to the coach of the team she is leaving and get his opinion on the player. In her conversation she seemed to raise the 'ol Red Flag in the sky. I wasn't looking to recruit this player and I don't want someone who was a problem. If someone called me and asked about a player I knew wasn't coming back, I think I could give an honest answer. I have a pretty good rapport with the other coach but is this just a big ol? can of worms that shouldn't be touched.
