I've pretty much stayed out of this but I think this may reflect what others have said about players mirroring the example set by their coach.
As I've stated probably too many times before, I serve on the board of our local rec league. Last night, I got a call from the board president asking me to facilitate at a hearing later this week involving one of our rec league coaches. It seems she was removed from her coaching position by the board (I was at that meeting) based on a request from the school district, who, while not specifically asking for her removal (they really have no authority to do that, since we are independent), but said that if she was allowed to continue to practice and play in a certain gym, the district would no longer lease that gym to us. There was no problem with her team, only with her. We were told by the school district that on more than one occasion, she got into verbal shouting matches with the custodian at that school when he tried to reinforce school district rules regarding floor time, no food or drink in th gym policy, etc. All of this happened in front of her team (5th grade boys). We tried to switch her practices to another school, but were unsuccessful in finding anyone who would switch with her.
Gee - I'm really looking forward to this, especially after reading the scathing correspondence she has sent to us.
Our main point is that this happened in front of the kids.
