Terrible rule. You can't punish a kid. What if the kid's dad is a drunk?

 

The movie Hoosiers.

No doubt middle school is worst. Had Conner parent cuckooing while opponent shot free throws, middle school game!

 

Saw parents get upset with Ryle coach at freshman girls game. Ryle coach was pressing up 25 w 1 minute left. The other team did not provoke this.

 

Girls games it is more pronounced, less in the stands, everything is magnified and heard.

 

Worst are the parents of the better teams when things don't go their way.

 

Ryle parents complaining about ref's calls when they are up 25. Just enjoy Johnny or Suzie's big game.

 

I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU PARENTS, if your kid is playing freshman ball as a freshman, they are typically not destined for greatness, especially on the girls side. So, enjoy it while it lasts. I know I'm dreading not being able to seepmy kid play anymore.

 

I was in the stands for the Ryle game you are talking about. The game was much closer than what you stated. It was something like a 4 point game at the half and I believe Ryle only had about a 10 point lead going into the 4th and was still around a 4 possession game with about 3 mins left in the game. They just had about a 30 second spurt late where they had about 8 points off steals. Ryle had a game the week before where they had a 16 point game going into the 4th and almost lost. I bet the coach had that in the back of her head. I know Ryle is 23-2 right now with both losses in overtime with Ryle not able to finish out the game.

Clyde, I'm saying its the school administrators job to control the parents if they act like idiots in the crowd. If the parents confront a coach during or after a game and get personal and attack the coaches character and the administration allows it to happen then coach has to do something. Can't let the inmates run the asylum. I've seen coaches cut kids at tryouts because their parents are idiots and will flat out kill team chemistry.

 

Can't punish the kids for their parents actions. Out of the question.

The sport brings out passion, control the ridiculous ones and embrace the emotions that make this a great game. It is a package deal. Yell your hearts out. You want a quiet sport go watch tennis.

Thank you! I was beginning to think I needed counseling. :lol:

Passion, emotion and cheering I'm all for that. Nothing better than a school with school spirit cheering their team on. Don't misunderstand what im saying But when a parent yells obscenities to a player or coach there is no place in high school sports for that. Cheer, dance and holler all u want I love that part of the game. If your ok with a parent getting personal with players or coaches then we'll agree to disagree. I never said sit on your hands and don't cheer.

Yelling at kids or coaches....not good

Yelling at refs, no problem with that as long as it doesn't get personal or out of control

 

for those with problems of saying things to officials need to get over it, the political correctness has gone way overboard the last 20 years as it is, it's part of the game and as an official you would expect some razzing, it's part of the game.

 

Maybe I'm too old school, I'm one of those who would go to professional football games and blast officials when they screwed up in my mind, and I would also boo players or teams for horrible play. That is professional level, not high school level, high school i will get on officials calls and I think it is part of the game.

I agree with u hellbird. That's what I was trying to say. Questioning referees and coaches comes with the job as long as it don't get personal. To me the kids are off limits. Especially if its not your kid. I love when student cheering sections go back and forth and try to get in a players head and the parents are all into the game. Makes for a better game

I know it has been said already, but you know there are some issues out there when players are asking coaches, athletic directors, and fans to ask their parent to "shut up and sit down". It is embarrassing to have a parent act that way. Even if there was a bad call, verbally abusing an official accomplishes what? Nothing. I understand parents are looking out for their kids and I get the energy surrounding basketball can excite people but there has to be some self-control, right?

Thank you! I was beginning to think I needed counseling. :lol:

 

Me too!!! We could have gotten a 2 for 1 deal maybe! I'd feel sorry for that poor counselor though!

RCC9, I'm curious to how u would handle a parent in the stands from your daughters team that heckled her the entire game, every game? Then after the game made comments to her about how bad she played? From old softball days I'm pretty sure I know how u would respond. Lol

No need to ask RCC9 this because this does not happen at Highlands, sorry, go fishing somewhere else.

I do a lot of basketball games and I almost never hear a player yelled at other than by a coach or their own parent. Just doesn't happen. Typical parent yell, shoot the ball. If someone were to yell at my kid back in the day I would probably take it as a compliment. Oh man, back in the day......how old am I getting?
