quincy, I hope you were missing blue font. LOL I was an AC on BB's TB team for a very long time. I insisted that if I was, I never made decisions about my kid. So, the HC determined where she hit in the lineup, where she played and what other responsibilities she had. Take carrying game equipment on the road or field cleanup at home. So, the coaches kids get the eas stuff and everyone else gets the hard. The ACs kids hit in the top of the lineup and everyone else battles for the last few spots. When they pick numbers, the AC's kids get the pick first. When it comes to media attention, the ACs kids get the majority of that.
Don't get me wrong, I see where maybe one AC that is a parent is not bad. When it is four then that is a major problem as I see it. Think of the climate of the team. Every time one of these girls dislikes something someone else does, they run to daddy. What about the perception that no kids in the program can have a fair chance to earn a position until these girls graduate. How many kids will this run off?
