...It *IS* a game -- not a test of manhood for middle-aged, pencil-membered nobodies to exercise their fantasies of power and domination on adolescent girls, whether the nobodies in question are coaches, umps or parents.

Nice to see you. Why don't you have a seat over there?

Can't believe that out of all these descriptions of ego-crazed coaches and parents out of control, the discussion has focused on one girl who stands up for herself.

Was she smarting off? We don't know unless we were there. IMO, coaches who repeatedly humiliate their players or their teams deserve to be told off -- and deserve to have girls quit on them.

Was her reaction appropriate? Again, we don't know.

But my point is, it might have been.

I too was at the tourney in Elyria a couple of weekends ago, and I saw some *awful* stuff. *I* was about to tell one coach to shut the hayull up, and I didn't know a single soul on his team.

You sound like a man hater to me and have a problem with authority!;&

What I have is a problem with stupidity. And with bullies humiliating young girls in public and calling it "old school", which is what I see happening sometimes at tournaments.

And, BTW, I *am* a man.

Some coaches are terrific people and teach the game with wisdom and grace.

And some are not, and don't.

Sounds like OFC is going to need an OFC Dental Plan. Lots of teeth getting knocked out, maybe these players then get banned to the Appalachia Fastpitch Circuit.

:lmao:

I also was at a tournament this last weekend where I heard a parent (/ fan?) taunting our players while walking around the other dug out. I was very surprised and disappointed.

You must never hear your parents?;&

Sort of off topic sort of not but I remember eating dinner at my girlfriend house. I was 13 and she was 12. Anyway, she said something that her Mom thought young ladies shouldn't say and WAMM with the back out her hand and out came a tooth!!!!! I was shocked, she was bleeding and her little sister cried for an hour. When ever I see her, we talk about it and how it effected what and when things came out of her mouth! Kids today don't have the respect for adults we had back in the 60's and 70's.

P.S. the tooth was loose so it wasn't a hard hit but a hard lessen learned!

Those were the good ole days

My dd has a very "passionate" basketball coach. He has, and will, kick girls off the court because they are not playing to the level he knows they can. I don't call that "old school"! I call that a coach who expects, and demands his players play to their potential! I, for one, am a parent who knows that for her to get better she has to become as passionate about her game (basketball/softball) as he is! She won't get that way if she is babied, and I won't allow any of her coaches to do it!

Open your eyes.....college coaches will not baby your little angels, they will yell, scream, humiliate and then bench them until they play at the level that is required!! jmho

Back a couple of years ago we had a coach in Willoughby that would yell and scream and seemed like he REALLY liked to humiliate the girls.
Now that same coach is NO longer with ANY team most of the girls left his team and from what I see no one wants the bum...what comes around goes around!
