You need to reread BOTH of my posts.

I didn't advocate sticking the kid. I said I would warn the coach that he needed to shut the kid up. if he doesn't, he'd better hope the kid doesn't pop off again.

My comment was regard to Kelvin's suggestion that we consider whether the kid is right or not. Sorry, that's not his job, it's mine. And I may listen to the coach if he has a concern but I'm not listening to a 17 y/o tell me I made a weak call.
