So why practice 6 days a week, miss vacations, and be perpetually abused by one of the nastiest coaches on the Island just to be a "practice player". Even the studs can't wait to get away from this jerk when their high school careers are over. Big mistake having a coach that grew up in the town as the head coach.


Same situation in my town. Small program, but same thing. Program suffers to make a few dads happy. They stay in town they grew up in, hire their hs buddy as coach, and then call the shots. Too bad.
