Well, again, we hear two different things and please keep in mind that I don't know how sinister your coaching staff is. Apparently pretty sinister. Anyway, when you state that your dd was "yelled at," then I wonder was something called to her attention or was did the coach raise their voice and yell? Those are two different things and I find that players today can't distinguish the difference between the two. Now, if you are standing outside that dugout and some paces away and you hear it, then that is different. I don't know your dd. I do know players and, to be honest, what they tell their parents isn't always the truth. Often, they do something to draw attention to themselves and then, a coach might vent. Again, I don't know what happened here.
MoparFin, you mentioned that you were the coach of a couple of different sports. You are not the softball coach. Just as when you coached whatever you coached, there will be/are parents that don't think you do every thing as they would or that is right. The problem with all this is that the truth is somewhere in between what you think and what the coaches think. I don't think that will ever change.
HS coaches have all kinds of pressures. I have a student/athlete who is not doing well in one particular subject. That teacher wanted me to bench her last night so that the point would be made about grades. I've taught for 30+ years, I take care of my problems myself and don't go to other teachers/coaches to try to get those problems resolved.
Finally, I've learned that in life, a rule that has always stood the test of time for me and mine is, "If you are 5 minutes early, you are 10 minutes late."
I am glad she still wants to play. Good luck to you and your dd! (Both dds)
