This is fun.
I have always wanted to tell a coach how to do their job, just like they always tell us how to do ours.
Coach, if teams are triple teaming your stud, have him be more active, rather than just setting up in one spot. It is easy to guard a player that isn't moving. This would give you something to tell the officials working your games. "When they triple team # 44, they are holding/impeding him." Yes, impeding is in the NFHS manual. Try using the kid in the high post with the other players not being guarded cutting to the basket, can you say 'lay up drill?'
I also agree that the rest of your team needs to practice making shots instead of passing to the big kid every time down. Go check out a local team that has a dominant post player, see how they move the player to get him the ball.
Wait til the kid gets to HS and he is 6'8"+/-. Some coaches teach the defense to grab arms and hands, then squeeze real hard.
