I think it's more important for coaches to have loyalty to their previous players than vice-versa.
As a coach, I want my players to be in a situation that's good for them. I don't have a problem with any family that chooses to look for something better, assuming that they don't jump to another team in the middle of the season without warning. (That's never happened.) I hope for loyalty, but I don't think I'm entitled to it.
This is the way I feel too. I hadn't really thought about it. I guess it's not completely fair that I expect more from a coach than I expect to give in return, but I do. If DD hasn't said she isn't returning, I expect the coach to let us know where DD stands. However, even if she wants to stay, I expect to be able to take DD to other tryouts during tryout season without saying anything to the coach unless and until she took another offer.
