Generaly "if" a kid Can "make plays" he will. . Parents will always complain more on a losing team thats just a fact .Ifsomeone iscoaching there own kid its probably personal preference if you want another coach to talk to your kid or not. Me personaly i would get in my kids tail harder than another player because i knew he wouldnt rattle and the messege would come thru clear .it just depends. “knew what he could do” !! that sometimes is the problem, “WE” dont really know . not saying this in your case,(dont know) but many parents “think” there kid can do things he not really capable of on and daily basis just beause they see it once .

When I was coaching basketball if you were winning and tough on kids parents thought it was okay. Loose a few games and listen to them gripe. As far a yelling at my son on the floor, or on the field, I would always tell another coach to get him out and talk to him. After a little chewing, it is over and not brought up again.
