Dude..I did grab a whistle a few years ago to help out and coached in PAL with a daddy coach who had a daughter who could do no wrong and who had the 'go to goal' (per pops blessing and exhorting) mentality every time she touched the ball...it was torture. guy was very nice person but it was insufferable the way the sun rose/set on his little lax queen...no other option because there was only one team in town at the age group.
so yes, some of us do step-forward and help out in PAL and end up dealing with the daddy crap anyway..
