PARENTS GONE WILD

Came across a story that really bothered me this morning.  As coaches, most of us work just as hard to instill the right values into impressionable young athletes as we do with X's & O's... and we occasionally have to play the "politics" game, especially with certain parents that have pull at the school and feel their kid is the best and should be starting or be given the most minutes, the most shots, etc (mostly because the parents feel their kids success or lack there of is a reflection on them).  Parents often have a warped sense of reality when it comes to their kids abilities and occasionally they try and use the Administration to get their way.

Checkout this story about a coach (Two State championships in the past four seasons, went 32-0 last season, and named Coach of the Year twice in the past four seasons) fired by the Administration because an influential donor.
