Bad High School Coaches

Posted by Observer on April 14, 2026, 2:27 pm

It’s crazy to me that daddy ball is alive and well in 2026, at the varsity level. When a coach’s daughter is starting in the OF, is slow, can’t throw, and can’t hit, then there’s only one reason she’s out there. And every player and every parent knows it. Shame on the head coach and the dad assistant coach.

Then you have the HC belittling players, while she’s patting herself on the back for being a culture changer. Right. You mean like changing the culture from one that goes downstate each year, to losing in the sectionals?

How about less worrying about which coffees the players have in the dugout, and learn when a runner at 3B should tag up on a deep fly ball and score.

Feeling like this thread is not complete without the LWE Coach.
The coach for LWE coaches like she has money on the opposing teams on Fan Duel. Horrible culture, cut a a bunch of college committed seniors before the season started last year. Intentionally walks batters with the bases loaded. It's a special kind of bad coaching.

Goodness. Just give up complaining and using this message board as a diary. Everyone is tired of it. This teams culture has improved so much only for you and yours to make it be about you every. Single. Time.

The HC reads this site. So no thanks to your advice.

Also, culture change? You mean like losing in sectionals? Let’s go back to the culture that gets the team downstate.

Bring back Sherm.

I’m not sure what school this is but reading thru these posts….. it’s clear who the cancer for this team is !!!! Is your little darling not getting the playing time YOU think she deserves?!?! Bravo to the parents who shut this down. Go sit in the car Karen/Ken and if your daughter is miserable… take her with you. Parents and disrespectful children ruining sports for the ones here for the TEAM….

Thanks for that. Now, feel free to comment on more topics you have no idea what’s going on.

After a few minutes of research… I know what school and who YOU are and I firmly stand by my comment…. I know and the rest of the parents know….

I'm not saying I don't agree with you, but why do posters have to lie to make their point? There's no research you can do on this; you're either part of it or you're making a point without knowledge.

When you have been around this sport for this long in one area…. and have coached thousands of girls… all you need to do to “ research “ is ask a few questions. If people post on her, more than likely they are talking. Great job last night by the way LC…. I heard it was a stellar game

Same group of really good players and same small group of shitty parents! Some things don’t change at L.C.

This post is about the coach there. Now, what’s your honest assessment of her?

Spoken like someone whose daughter played SS and batted 3rd her entire HS career.

Shocking you don’t have a problem with her.

Exactly. It’s wild how ‘no issues’ always comes from the one situation the rest of the team had to constantly work around—‘no problem here’ hits real different when you were both the problem and the one benefiting from it the entire time.

Same shitty parents that haven’t done anything for that program but cause drama. Until the HC finds the guts to not tell their daughter to say something to them but to walk up to them, look them in the eye and say one more negative word out of you and you and your daughter are history. We all know that will never happen. If u trying to change the culture it has to be ZERO TOLERANCE.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that . The HC’s job is to win while appeasing the players and the AD. Are there some schools that LET the HC handle it…. Yes but the bigger schools and the private schools definitely to not. Reputation is a huge factor in HS athletics. That needs to change as today’s youth are soft and entitled…. Not just softball. College is a rude awakening for some parents and players for this very reason. The parents need to look their little princess in the eye the next time she complains and say… suck it up, if you can’t take this heat you’re not ready for college. The parents can make this season a winning one……LC has the players and the coach.

Put a name on your little rant and show some balls. Anyone close to this knows who you are and it’s pretty sad that you can’t help but talk shit about anyone’s kid accept your own. Keep your mouth shut and sit in the outfield because everyone in the stands is tired of hearing the garbage that you spit. Watch your daughter play and enjoy the success they are having. Maybe have a deep conversation on how not to take a shit against CP. Yours truly, an even bigger observer.

Nothing kills a culture quicker than a crybaby parent posting online about the coaches and a calling out a teenage girls base running error. I would say tagging at 3rd on a deep fly ball is common knowledge in the game. The runner probably shouldn’t be on varsity if they don’t know that.

And by the way, the coffee in the dugout “dig” just makes you sound uneducated and entitled.

Parents make the mistake of thinking the higher up their daughter moves in softball (8U-college) the coaching gets better.
There are terrible college coaches and terrible college coaches.
There are terrible 14U coaches and good 14u coaches.
Same in High School.

Daddy ball has escalated to the OF now? End of Times is near.

Now why would they do that? It’s easier hiding behind the keyboard duh. Another scorned parent whose DD didn’t get a sac fly on her batting avg.
