I don't think coaches today can handle a really good ball player if he is not related to them. I've seen things done to kids , to take away from their skill and use them to make other players look better. I think it is a shame that an adult would do that. It happens and everyone knows it, but it won't work in the long run. And really good players are not arrogant. Some adults are so tied up in sports and want to controll the end results for personal gain that they never think of the kids. Kids work too hard to be good players to let some old dude take it away from them. [Not speaking about Mr. Davis ]. Don't pretend to like a kid and then try to do him in. The kids I know take your praise with a grain of salt and keep on working on their game.

Which parents should coach? The parents of the star player, or the parents of the least talented player on the team? I dont think parents should be allowed to coach a relative. It seems to me that a parent would let their son or daughter get away with more than the other players. Or they would place most of their attention on their offspring. I think they will go into it with working mostly with their family more than the other players. I dont think parents should even be allowed in the gym during practice. Parents should be able to trust their coaches decisions on the court. It is the coaches team, not the parents. I think if a parent has a question about a coaches decision about a game, they should be allowed to talk with the coach. I dont think that after every game, parents should be allowed to go to the coach and ask why jr. isnt playing more than he/she thinks they should. Coaching is a hard enough job on its own without having to put in the whole family/favortism mixed in with it.
