[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16716546, member: 45161"] I coach 85 kids at the moment, played on a national level as a junior, played in college, and played professionally at the lowest level. I've been coaching since 1994 and I've seen a noticeable softening of the youth over the years. My job used to consist of teaching them a sport, now I teach kids how the basics of athleticism and getting them to work hard at even the highest levels is like pulling teeth. That's not to mention managing the snowflake attitudes. As an athlete I have absolutely devoured people's souls in competition and I've been humiliated so bad I wanted to curl up and die. Such is life. Adversity breeds greatness IMO. So there's my background. There's a fine line to walk in sports. If the kids can handle it, let them take a beating. If you sense that little Johnny is humiliated and will never play basketball again clearly put a stop to it. There should be some level of etiquette at the high school level but that duty falls on both parties. It's hard to make a judgment with the limited facts that we have here. [/QUOTE]
