Player in twilight zone

[Hawks Coach]

Sorry if I overreacted a bit, I think we would find ourselves in agreement on most issues in this vein.

This has been my worst year parents wise, but I also do a letter. I have regular parent's meetings with my girls AAU team, because of the problems I have experienced. I explain my approach to the game, that I will put player development over wins (and show that this is in the interest of those who are looking for college scholarships), my rules of the road (no coaching during games, no ref baiting, etc.) goals for the season, and go from there. I try to talk to parents one-on-one on a regular basis.

I still catch hell from the misguided few who know nothing about basketball, the quality of their players or the competition, and all that.
