Regarding telling the coach, say nothing until you commit to another team. From experience, as soon as you tell the coach your looking the relationship changes immediately. He can't count on your DD for the roster spot, so he begins to protect the team's interests. Once you commit to another team, tell him right away so he can make plans. If your reasons for changing are logical, he will understand. If he doesn't, then that's his problem and he'll get over it.
I think this is the crux of the problem right here. No blame to either side, but if you are on a TB team and you can't talk honestly with the coach and the coach can't trust the parents to let them know intentions, that starts all the drama that others are referring to which makes this the silly season.
