In reference to commonsenseref's comment that parents are the cause, I say that the coach is the root of attitude. If parents see coachs riding and blasting refs, parents are quicker to jump the ref. And the kids will follow the coach on the court with that attitude. The coach sets the stage of attitude on the court.

I'll take a game, any level, with no parents in the stands any day of the week. Most parents don't need any guidance from their kid's coach, they have their own agendas.

I've had games both ways. Parents loud and obnoxious, coach quiet. Parents quiet until the coach starts chirping then they join in. I've also had games with chirping coaches and quiet parents.... Really there is no set guideline as to what will happen.
