Basketball Official , Coach, Board Member of Youth Leagues (in the past)....
I coached my oldest daughter in hoops up to 7th grade when she decided it wasn't fun for her any longer. In 6th grade, she got the opportunity to play for her school team and a coach who wasn't me.
Like Frank Martin said, I'd sit in the stands and watch parents lose their minds. The same parents of kids I was coaching on the travel team. A couple of Dad's asked me "Aren't you going nuts sitting up here?" My answer was NO..."I'm enjoying watching my kid play!"
I've never understood the mentality of these parents who act like 5th grade basketball is going to determine their kids college ability on any given Saturday.
