And then that dad would say, "no I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the player"That's when you go back to the coach and say..."Apparently, I was wrong. He now claims he was talking about how much YOU suck".
We had a guy like that on DD"s team (not that bad, but always critizing players who weren't his DD "you gotta catch that, you gotta swing at that)....I finally told him to shut the F up, I'm sick of hearing it, and two parents behind me finally spoke up and said the same thing. He was basically a nice guy but got carried away, he calmed way down after that and never heard any negativity agian.......Although it doesnt sound like your dad would be like that.
