Those types of parents are EVERYWHERE, and at ALL levels, across various sports i.e., softball volleyball, soccer, etc. The coaches at my granddaughter's high school pretty much have a similar policy. It seems to work pretty good, because the parents know, the coaches mean what they say. You coach from the stands, your kid gets benched, period!!!

Every year [/B]BEFORE the start of official practice, the coaches from the 3 levels have a group parent/player Q&A meeting in the gym, where the rules and regs and the zero tolerance policy is explained to them. The parents also receive at copy of these rules in writing for future reference.  After 1-2 incidents at the beginning of the season, causing a player to be removed from the game (there's always that 1 parent that has to test the coach/policy), the coaching from the stands usually ceases. When a player is pulled, it's for the remainder of the game. I can understand the player's fury and frustration at being benched for no fault of her own. It's not a pretty sight or situation. The player and parent are usually pissed and embarrassed. :mad:
