PT is an issue on every team us included. I have concerns about us not getting enough minutes to players and with the talent influx next year it's gonna get worse, particularly if Brimah, Rodney and DHam stay. It's a delicate balance for KO and I don't envy him.

Many father's would have reacted similar concerning their child. Their pride and joy (look up his name in Texas high school) is not playing, pulled 'immediately' for mistakes and may not see the time of day on the court. Perhaps all justified.

We don't know their private and/or emotional conversations. But how many fathers here would not do the same for their kid?

No need to label him a jerk, he's just being Dad (and not all fathers are alike).

We don't know their private conversations; they're none of our business.

Dad made it public by going to the press on the record and that's fair game for commentary.

I've read several viewpoints and I'm staying with my original point. Helicopter parents aren't condusive to tight team cohesion. If I'm a coach I'm very leery of parents who like talking to the press about their kids. Even more leery of parents who basically admit they did a crap job of vetting the school and roster the first time.

Not disagreeing but there are hovering mothers, helicopter pilots, nagging wives, etc.. Just saying its 'normal' or not unusual and doesn't make them a jerk or other derogatory name.

Calling him a helicopter dad which is what he may be, is more likely accurate, just like calling my wife a nagging person (somewhat true). But call her a jerk and I will adversely respond/defend, only because she's my jerk and only mine.

totally agree

We always think our kids are better than they really are.

How many heralded Texas basketball kids have played at OSU. He and Dad were sold a bill of goods about the B10 and now he will go home to a Texas school.
