I'm a firm believer in "The Team comes first" but we have a couple girls who keep missing practices and games, one girl missed 4 weeks (8 practices) in a row. Excuses ranged from soccer, volleyball and parties. But our head coach just keeps telling us AC that she is considered the 12th girl and we will use her only if needed. Then we get to a tournament game and she shows up, he sits her the first inning then puts her in. Its causing a lot of unneeded drama with the parents and every time he gets asked about it he avoids the question and says its a tough situation because the family is part of his community and the girl goes to school with his daughter. As a AC I feel bad for the girls who are sitting on the bench while she plays and the parents ask me why and I just point to the HC and say you need to ask him. How would you experienced HC handle this? and is this a situation where as an AC I need to just stay out of it.
