Well M&D doesn't cut kids over parents' conduct. Parents have considerable influence on coaches at M&D. Add that on to the fact that almost every team at M&D has parent coaches as head/assistant/ and upaid assistant or quote "volunteer coaches" or some variation of all three --- that's a whole lot of parental influence going on.
