Message: [QUOTE="Zinethar, post: 3651874, member: 8436"] I was a cross country and track&field coach. My cross country team got T-Shirts with the message "Your punishment is our practice". So true :D. In my 40 years of HS and College D3 coaching I only had to remove 2 players. Hardest decisions I had to ever make as I felt part of my job was teaching what was right. The first one was the hardest as he was clearly the best runner on the team and sitting him would mean the team would be severely damaged. Had a meeting with the assistants and all agreed with the decision so we suspended him. His Dad had a hemorrhage and pulled him from the team. Years later he came to me to say he regretted what he had done and to tell me I was right. His Dad never did. End result was that I learned kids reflect what they get at home. You really can't do much about that but you can eliminate the problem. [/QUOTE]
