Drama on the basketball court

Amberly and Trent have been enjoying playing basketball since early December. We have been involved in Katy Youth basketball since Eyn was in 1st grade. That's quite awhile. We've been blessed with some amazing coaches and teams and some not so great. This year Trent has a great coach. It's actually York from our ward. He's very positive with the boys and Trent seems to really be doing well. Well, Amberly is in her first year with KYB and she got the coach from @!#$#@! and we found out last night that he has quit the team. He sent a bitter letter to all the parents letting us all know the flaws of our children on the court and how he couldn't understand why parents have been complaining to KYB about him. Our kids have had a few bad coaches over the years but never one like this man. He let all the girls know a few weeks ago that his daughter was the teams only chance of winning. He told all the girls if they were on the court with her to get the ball to her and then on defence that his daughter was to cover whomever had the ball on the opposing team and that girl was to back away and find a different player. That's NOT the way KYB works and the result ended with confused girls on the court. He was harsh in speaking with the girls and took all fun out of it for them. One girl quit earlier this week due to the coach. Let's just say that tomorrow will definitely be an interesting day at the game. After a few emails back and forth between parents and the coach (not nice ones) I'm sure it will be a calm and happy day for the parents and the girls. Hopefully we will have someone step forward to take charge and finish the season on the positive.

  1. How sad. You want to be appreciative of parents who will spend their time doing this, but then you get the jerks who ruin it for everyone. I hope they can find a good coach so Amberly and the rest of her team can enjoy the season.
