If a kid plays basketball and his parent is the head coach what other choice is there? quit the team? transfer? parent give up his career?

You have to draw that line of professionalism and leave being the parent at the house when you step on the court. Always play your best regardless and I don't think you'll have much of a problem.

That's easier said than done. I never let my daughter call me mom. I wouldn't anwer to it until she said, Mrs. (myname). I was always harder on her to show my professionalism and that wasn't fair on her.

Also, it is hard to not coach, when you are in a point of a small school. Another poster stated "it would be hard not to coach your child" and that is true. Alot of good coaches and players have lived through this dilemma and survived so it is possible. My daughter was a great point guard and did start, but I feel that I was extremely hard on her and so did alot of others but she turned out great, so all is well.

I dont see a problem with it.
My coach has a daughter on the team and i dont see any difference in his coaching when it comes to her.

The hardest part would be dealing with the other parents.

Yes, stupid question!

Not a stupid question, but could have been worded alittle better. Its normal to be harder on family, but it's another thing to play favorites, leave them in to score or outscore someone else, or let them do whatever they want. As long as thats not the case, then there's nothing wrong with it.
