Well, that is sort of with the not keeping score camp that mytwotinks mentioned. The mother obviously was saying despite who plays better, her son was at all the practices, therefore he should be played. Meanwhile the coach only wanted the win and didn't care who got played as long as the best players were out there. I don't know, when it comes to kids' sports, I side with the mother on that, we don't want to be teaching them merely to win at all costs are we? Don't we want to teach them that playing and having fun and exercising are the important things? Not that coach. And the boys obviously already have internalized that too.........
