Mick,
Are you saying that Barnicle is wrong? He's definitely not bringing up something that hasn't been beaten into the ground. His points do have merit.
Having played, parented, coached, and umped in Little League as well, I don't think he's saying that every parent and coach is like that. But many coaches are.
As for a solution, I don't have one as well. Other than coaches, leagues and parents getting on the same page before the season. If the goal is to win, and parents and players (remember them?) don't care as much about winning at all cost, they should find a team that fits them better. But I realize that's not an easy thing to do.
