Im livid and ask at least for some sort of compensation as i'm losing my top pick . I am told basically that" it is rec ball - deal with it " . I e-mail the other coach looking for a trade,no response.
I have mixed feelings about some of this but I agree you have the right to feel your Team was taken advantage of, mostly your Players.
A trade will never work; you will always get the short end of the deal anyways. For your Team you are better off leaving them go and moving on.
I guess what I would have liked to happen in this situation is that the Player/ Parent that did not want to be on your Team anymore be assigned to a different Team, they cannot pick the Team they want to be on. It would be a board decision what Team they were assigned to. If the 2nd Team did not work out for them, cut them lose and maybe refund some of their money.
I would rather deal with the aggressive parent then the backstabber. If you are warned off parents pay attention you might not be able to fix it, let someone else have the headache.
as a side note -was it wrong of me to be happy when i found out that the enabled child's team lost in the championship last night
Yes, but I can be petty too. It is not right to wish the HC/ Team loses but I have been there.
