dd's catcher- It is unfortunate that my previous post was right behind your's. I was not attacking you or your post. It would seem that you handled your daughter's situation in a perfect way. Deal with it until the season is over and then move on. I applaud you.
What I am annoyed at is many's belief that all Daddy coached teams are inferior. Some are no doubt. But some are pretty darn good. A person cannot promote that belief without stepping on some pretty good coaches toes.
What if this thread had instead been entitled, "All coaches that don't have daughters on the team are perverts." Every year there are instances of coaches acting inappropriately. So is it fair to lump all of them together? I think many would be insulted at that insinuation. How is it different?
What if I make the claim that every dd that changes teams is a prima donna and an emotional head case? That is clearly not true. But it is in some cases. Fair to lump everyone together?
This is apparently a national forum. Softball in CA, FL, AZ is much different than the rural area I live in. We don't have a number of teams that my dd can pick and choose from. We play at 18 but my daughter is probably the only one going to play in college and that is at a low level. Our team has fun and we play some pretty good ball. How is that wrong just because I am a Daddy coach?
