I want to grab them by their belt loops and simulate what it feels like to violently rotate their hips and engage their lower half, but I ain’t doing that. Even repeatedly telling them that’s where all their power comes from (and the bottom turns the top) they look at me like I’m speaking Russian to them!
Probably a good move on his part. If it was something inappropriate, it’s good that he acted on it and didn’t let it slide. If it was something that was borderline uncomfortable, still probably a good move, all it takes is one parent to perceive it in a negative manner. Last thing you want as a Head Coach is to have one of your assistants accused of being inappropriate and you not doing anything. That lands you in some hot water.I totally forgot about an incident that happened a few years ago. DD's team had an "older" hitting coach that joined the team. One day I noticed that he wasn't at a tourney then not at practice. I found out later that he was asked to leave after the HC saw something that made him feel very uncomfortable during an indoor hitting practice with the whole team there. My DD didn't know the specifics or who it happened to. Something about body positioning and touching of the player that the HC saw. HC didn't like it, and wouldn't allow it to happen again. Was he overly careful? Had this happened before? I have no idea. I still saw him around the fields working with another team, and I had good hitting mechanics conversations.
The HC has a solid reputation, been around a long time and always did the right thing for his players. He also did not put up with any BS from anyone.Probably a good move on his part.

Then I probably would have trusted his decision. I appreciate when coaches aren’t afraid to check their fellow coaches.The HC has a solid reputation, been around a long time and always did the right thing for his players. He also did not put up with any BS from anyone.
What State are you in? In Illinois we get a pass for 2 parents and can not attend away games.Last night I had the opportunity to take in the first game on a new high school field. Two of the top teams in the state paired against one another. Big crowd and perfect weather.
To get right to the point I was amazed at one of the coach’s behavior. Hands all over the players, chest bumping players, and more behavior you wouldn’t expect to see from a coach.
I say all of that to offer a suggestion to any of the coaches out there - don’t touch the players.
Clearly you have never been to a wrestling practice.Was there a way to do that with verbal instruction?
Or a visual by you standing in correct spot?
Just sayin' good intension to get it right, not good repercussion if someone doesnt see that as necessary.
Reminder a kid can go home and say
'the coach picked me up to today.'
