I coach basketball at a local school..I have coached the B-team for several years..This year I was asked to coach the JV...which I agreed to for a small salary...However I still coach the b-team, which is volunteer...this is a small school so there are never alot of players...we are lucky we keep the Bteam going...
this year...I have 13 kids between the 2 teams...only 2 are HS age that cant play b-team...So I decided to have 1 team to play all games just those couple wont dress on bteam..that way I can keep them together for practice etc etc....just easier really...
I have 5 or 6 middle school kids get alot of time on bteam and of course start just cause they have too...They also get time on the bteam but I also make it so the younger, less experienced kids get most of the time on bteam but all the kids get time at each level if it works out...only on JV if its a close game do the younger less experienced kids not get alot of time...but they dress out and get to experince the JV games..
Well I have never had an issue with parents till this year. We are 3-0 on Bteam and 9-2 on JV...so we are doing very good...However when I put those kids that get alot of time in on JV in a bteam game I have 1 or 2 parents that start screaming at me that this is a bteam game and that its stupid...stuff like that...I gave my 4 most experienced kids exactly 1 minute at the start of the 2nd qtr last game and soon as they went in those parents went crazy behind my bench...
The AD has seen 2 of our 3 bteam games and says what I am doing is fine...and he supports me....but its really getting to me and I am not sure what I should do...Do I just ignore it and not worry about it? Do I approach the parents? Any advice? hope all that is clear and makes sense...
thanks
