It is very well known that if you PAY $$$$, you play. I know that helpless feeling you get when you see your son hurting. You just want to pummel the COACH!!! I don't know if it is possible for you, but my husband and I have tried to use the *(^*($%^& Coach's statements and actions to teach our son about life's lessons. Those stinky lessons that will never be fair in life, but unfortunately you have to learn about. (Also, how could any parent ever be so cruel to a child as this guy (and your coach) is?) I tell him that any opportunity he gets, he should "shine like a star". Eventually, someone will notice - even if it isn't the boob heading the team. Keep your chin up and if you need to talk, I am just an email away. :-))) I, too, deal with this problem, except mine is 16 yrs. old and has a very young and inexperienced HS baseball coach who quite basically is a jerk!!
