All 3 of my sons played HS ball. I coached one of them (the youngest) in basketball, but coached all 3 in HS football. Loved every minute of it, although they will tell you that I was harder on them than on the other players.
When they were playing HS basketball, I sat in the stands and cheered for their team (or yelled at them if they were being lazy). On a number of occasions, the officials from our local area (who all knew me) would motion for me to come into the locker room with them after the game and then ask for my feedback. I was never really comfortable with that as a dad...but I would keep the discussion centered on things like court coverage, rotations, etc - never on judgement calls.
