So many things discussed here are completely out of hand in high school sports, whether it is football, basketball or baseball. You can come to our games and see parents sitting on the first or second row coaching their child from beginning to end, parents who know nothing and I mean NOTHING about the game screaming at the officials and/or coaches and making absolute fools of themselves to where others around them are totally embarrassed for them to even criticizing other players (which to me is the absolute worst thing you can do). You can look around at the parents and if another player makes a good play or scores, they won't even cheer unless it is their child. I've watched this for a few years now and am so glad my children are out of high school as this was really not the case when they were coming through the program.
