You can explain behavior without excusing it.

Sorry my mistake I thought that was different person.
So you are willing to say what the coach did was wrong?

If I am calling the coach idiot and everyone else is too? Then why all the reply’s?
So much wrong with what you said at the start. So my supervisor can dictate what my wife does?
You know when you try to call names like helicopter parent it just shows you know you are wrong so you try to insult, but when it so far from the truth it has no effect.

You wouldn't see Patty Gasso excusing a player to miss practice or games because of a stupid funeral by gawd.

What does your wife have to do with anything in this scenario other than if she is the boss at home she cannot control whether you get a raise or not since that is not her domain. The coach cannot control whether or not somebody goes to a funeral or a vacation but he can control the consequences on the field. Not sure why this is so difficult to comprehend.
If you, or anybody,feel the need to meddle in every situation your kid is involved in then that is a helicopter parent by definition. This is a situation which will not cause irreparable harm to a child's future hence a parent needs to accept and move on.
This is the last I will say about this. Coach made a stupid decision (imo) but it was his/hers to make. Parent has a right to be confused by said decision but should just leave it alone as it isn't a big deal.

...And the coach cannot control how parents react when they have to make decisions based on a diversity of reasons that other people think are all priorities.
Yet the coach still has to make a decision.

This whole thread is silly. Coach has a rule. Dumb or not it’s the team rule. We have a senior player that has lost both grandparents within days of each other this season. She has missed absolutely nothing. Our coach doesn’t have this dumb rule and it wouldn’t have mattered if she did miss but her family made a choice that was right for them. This family made a different choice that was right for them and it had a consequence. Agree with those that said let it go.

She does not. That is the point. You are saying coaches are superiors to the parents. Same relationship.
When those consequences are unjustifiable. The parent is on the same level and can voice the opinion if they chose too. Not for this situation but for a future one.
