Okay, it's the first official day of basketball practice and this will be my first year keeping up with high school ball in this area. I would hear from a coaching friend of mine about how the times have changed and how the parents play the political games in high school to get their kid on the 'A" team or off the bench to play. In competitive youth sports its known as "Daddyball" and I've become an expert at noticing parents jockeying for a position for their kid on a team. Daddyball is really prevalent usually when a dad is coaching his son or daughter, but school ball takes on a whole new level to influence a coach. Not only do boosters play a big part in college recruiting, but it's also happening at the middle and high school level. Some donate to the school in various ways.

Anyway, lets enjoy this season and let your kid win his spot by his play and production, not by money and influence. Because if the kid is weak and exposed, everybody will know how they made it. Okay, I gotta go and prepare for practice this evening and get my seat early. I need to run by the bank and  donate a few dollars to the team for gear. Also let the coach see me with the other daddies and express my influence too  ;D  ;D

All I can say is my kid BETTER play!  He is by far the best kid on the whole team......Any trouble out of the coach and I will report him to PACA(Parents Against Coaches Association).

Coach English for Nederland will be coaching his son soon enough. Talented sophomore. I thought Vidors coachs son played as well?

I don't think Zach Quinn has a son that old, could be wrong though.

Your right I was thinking of the previous coach
