"I think your question should not be whether the baby's presence was disrespectful; but whether the coach could really ensure adequate care for the child while at the game."
"I don't think it was disrespectful. However, I do think she probably did both her child and her team a disservice by trying to care for the child while coaching. Just my opinion."
Chuck, I guess my concern really is whether better care could've been provided for the child at the game. Admittedly, I didn't think about the child until timeouts when I could see her crawling around, etc. I guess those would've been the moments the child was "in danger" of being hit by a loose ball or perhaps a player trying to save a ball going out of bounds. Now that I've thought about it, I'd probably tell her the child has to be on the bench in someone's care at all times.
