Good perspective. I'd say don't let one bad coach drive her out of the game. Give it another shot with a better fit, but be prepared for her to move on, too.
Mother of DD's teammate pointed me here when I asked her a question that had been raised by somebody here. Mostly enjoy lurking and reading the spirited discussions
prefer them coming to the coach first... parents (typically) are willing to listen to me and the ump confronting the crowd can end up escalating matters IMO
Agreed. All balls need to through the ump and they should making sure this stuff doesn't happen. I've seen a few occasions where the ump isn't interested in intervening, though... Not worth the headaches for them, I suppose.
