Thanks PA Coach and Stan. your approach is the one I was suggesting as well, though probably not as clearly. You really need to know your kid and what they can handle. You need to let them know where you stand and find out if they want to continue, if they still think hoops is fun despite the coach's behavior.

I don't argue whether his behavior is inappropriate, but I have seen plenty in my own club that I do not support. And already I have a parent telling me that one of my player's HS coaches is a "yeller." I don't think he is at this extreme, but he berates in rather vocal terms. So this contnues to happen, and even in the workplace you see inappropriate conduct. the most important thing is to know how to handle it when you encounter it, and not to feel tha the only recourse is to leave the situation. This is not a physically abusive marriage, but it is an extreme verbally abusive situation that you need to constantly monitor.
