Funny. I bet I could guess who that is. Does every town have a set of parents/fans that are usually sitting by themselves because no one wants to sit near them??

I think not.
You hit the nail on the head there!!

Every coach that I have known has the best interest at heart for his or her players and teams. Some parents think that all coaches try to do is hurt their child emotionally. Most coaches in this state get paid very little, they do it for the love of the game and for a chance to see student-athletes succeed. When will parents realize that not every one is put on this earth to be an athlete. Maybe, just maybe, your child isn't as good as you think they are.
