Yay! for having a good coach to balance dealing with the bad coach!
And I would still watch Brenna's coach very closely - any coach that would refuse to show up for a scheduled practice because of a 'bad attitude' on the part of his players is *not* at all interested in building players - just a team that will make him look good. And that is not a good attitude to have when working with youngsters.
(While it is entirely possible that the coach had a legitimate reason for not being there, the very fact that the kid rumor mill could create such an excuse speaks quite eloquently about what the kids think of their coach - and that is a disaster waiting to happen...)
I still think that you and Brenna should be looking for another team for next year - the more I hear about this coach, the less I like the idea of him being involved in childrens' lives.
