What would you have done?

I hate people like that. Kill him with kindness. Take your assistant coach with you and ask him questions like " awesome, your starting your own program?" or "hey that's a nice shirt!" LOL

Just move on and don't let him get in your head to much.

All the crazy parents will probably gravitate his way. Maybe he's doing you a favor

Why do anything? If your tryouts are top notch and the families are impressed with you , the actions of this other guy wont affect things much at all

I remember having organizational tryouts at our home park about 2-3 years ago. Another organization came and put flyers in the windshields of all the cars in the parking lot, announcing their tryouts the next week. ...

Sometimes you just have to decide what kind of coach/organization that you want to be and let others make their own choices.

Write a nice thank you letter to Bozo the Coach! Likes attract; he did you a huge favor!

Do you ever play this team? if so what is the outcome?

No but I would like to now....Feel our girls could beat them.

Good perspective from you and the others who allude to the same thing. I think he will sink himself eventually and anyone who is interested in that is not someone we may be too interested in anyway. It was just nuts. I would've loved to done something funny in return. But while it would be funny for me it would probably only backfire on me. Best to leave it alone.

Now today he is emailing me and the older 12U age coach if we would be interested in his recruits who came out that he "could not use". lol...

Just curious, what state are you in Crush?

Prefer to stay vague if possible.

OK, so I'm not always a "high road guy." I'd go sit in the stands and then meander along the sidelines talking and "hobnobbing" with the parents as their dds tryout. That would drive him crazy. Naturally, I'd have to wear my team shirt while doing so. Every now then if I could catch him looking, I might lean over and say something to whomever and then smile.
