We have a situation that I would like some opinions or help with. In a nutshell, we have a coach who lost his temper, assumed something, and kick two players off of his 16U team. The players were a pitcher,my daughter, and catcher and I will fill you in as to what happened. The team had not done well in their last two tournaments. Usually this team is very competitive, but they lost out early in the last one they played in. The coach called an impromptu practice, and as I have found out, immediately got reasons from players as to why they couldn't be there. He sent me a text of which wasn't clear, so I called him to find out what he meant. Well, he was angry when he answered the phone and before I could tell him my reason for calling, he went into a fit, screaming ao=bout how everyone should be at practice, my daughter needed practice as much if not more than anyone else; I found out he assumed I was calling to say we wouldn't be at practice. Not the case. He ended the conversation with telling me he wanted my daughter gone and to take the other player with her, then he hung up on me. He then sent out a text message to the entire team that he was folding the team, season over. I didn't call him back, I was in such shock.
a day later, the coach sent me a text stating that he had talked with the other coaches and was under the impression that my daughter wanted to return and continue to play and he didn't have a problem with that, but HE WOULD NOT ASK HER BACK.
My daughter is very hurt over this. She has played for this team for two years. As she put it "yesterday I made coach's day by pitching a shut out against a team he wanted to beat and today I'm dog crap, Go figure!" The whole thing is confusing and it involves more than just the ones mentioned here. There is the team roster that is left out there without enough players to play. The chance of finding more players is not good, the player pool here is extremely small. What do others thing and what would you do?
