A few of the high-level players in our school district go to HS in neighboring districts so they can play on better school teams. A few others go to private schools. It's left my DD's HS team pretty thin on talent.
School coach doesn't understand the game

Being concerned about a coach asking girls who their favorite baseball player is nitpicking at best. Yes your coach made a bad decision. Who cares about breaking up a double play when you're down by 10 in the seventh.
The problem you have with high school is that the majority require a teacher to coach the team unless no one steps up to take the job. You get what you get unfortunately

Its ok if you think or anyone thinks it's ridiculous that I commented about the mindset of a coach.
Think its ridiculous a coach would ask a softball player who's there favorite bb player.
Here to play softball.
Wouldnt have an answer to that because bb doesnt matter to me, has nothing to do with being on a softball team.
bb never ever entered my mind in regards to HOW to play softball.
Not a single part of bb.

Just read a post about h.s. players going to other h.s. to play for whatever reasons.
But every where has its own story to tell!
How long would/should it take for a coach to learn the roster and make better coaching decisions?
Half way threw the season?
2nd half better than 1st half?!
Why is baseball the troubling question for you? What about music or food? You're doing neither on the field.
This coach probably was talking about her interest and not trying to make her softball players evil baseball players. I also assume the awkardness of zoom adds to it. If someone asked you it would be appropriate to say coach I'm not interested in baseball, but my favorite SD player is _____
No need to get offended over an innocuous question

Its NOT trubbling.
Original post made a joke about it.
My answer was Terry Bradshaw
Its simply the mindset of the coach.
Its disconnected from softball.
That's it.
Can only use what the op offered to understand the situation.
commented earlier bb background may have nothing to do with ability to coach.
Btw in spanish class did they ask you what your favorite word is in french class? Lol just being silly.

"The inside half of the plate. That's where history's made." -Ted Williams
Nice that the assistant coach could make his contribution to history, lol
*** Edited to add: Maybe I shouldn't have quoted a baseball player in this thread. Please pretend Crystl Bustos said that instead.
Inside pitches are killer if you're hitting your spot. If you're not coach is getting blamed
