Our coach lets his daughter get away with murder! (I’ll call him John & her Jane)
Jane’s a snob & could care less if she hurts someone’s feelings & most of the girls are intimidated by her so they won’t speak up. JANE’S calling the shots, not John! She insists on pitching all the time & she’s horrible. She pitches 3-4 feet to high or bowls it in. There’s 4 other girls (one’s my daughter) that are great pitchers & they’re constantly asking for their turn to pitch but John won’t let them because Jane will throw a fit! When the assistant coach (Rick) or anyone suggests letting someone else pitch John usually ignores them. Jane’s never had to sit out when we have to many players either! If or when John lets someone else pitch Jane argues with him saying they can’t pitch, they’re going to loose the game because of it & starts balling ..... then gets her way! At the last game John finally let my daughter pitch 1 inning (2nd one the entire season). I was by the dugout telling my daughter good luck etc. Jane starts cutting my daughter down BADLY & arguing with John about letting her pitch! She he has a horrible mouth & makes sure everyone can hear her. I spoke up & told John “Excuse me, she has NO right to judge anyone & that he shouldn’t let her talk that way!” She rolled her eyes at me then walked away. He told me not to worry about it, he had it under control. I told him he didn’t have her under control & I was sick of him playing favorites. He denied playing favorites & told me to sit down & shut up! I didn’t go any farther because it wasn’t the right time or place. There’s other parents & players that are also fed up with them but we don’t know what we can/should do? We’re considering to refuse to go to State tournaments unless they agree that Jane won’t pitch & call the shots like she has been. BUT our daughters have worked hard to get where they are & they deserve to play! If we do refuse I don’t think they’ll be enough players & they’ll have to for-fit. We’d appreciate any advice!!
