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."
Agree! As a MS coach I occasionally get a comment or an email from a teacher that wants/demands that I punish a player (their favorite is to make them run laps) for something that happened in their classroom. For some reason, they cannot see that their classroom management issues have nothing to do with my team.
Now, I will not put up with the Bullcrap from a player, and I understand that we all have to work together to guide these student-athletes through the entire process. But, I have never gone to anyone outside my own classroom to help me manage my classroom. In fact, I have written one disciplinary referral in ten years.
You take care of your classroom, I will take care of mine, and keep your meddling away from the team I am coaching (teaching).
