I don't want to defend anyone but the tone throughout this entire thread except from the OP interestingly enough was that the coach is this unstable time bob looking for kids to berate when that doesn't seem to be the case. I would almost gurantee that the kid in questions honestly gets why all of this happened, she may be unhappy with the way it happened but deep down I bet she understands it.
I don't believe in coaching through fear, but I do believe in transparency between kids and parents alike and I'm not sure why so many others struggle with the concept. We all make bad decisions and I dont think the coach in question made a 'bad' decision but I do think it was untimely.
Sometimes the coach who gets on your kids the most is actually their biggest supporter. So if takes them hating me for 20 minutes, or knocking them down a level for a season for them to get it thats something I will do, and will continue to do. Because the kids I am the toughest on almost always come back to tell me thank you. I don't ask them to do something they are incapable then fuss when they don't do it thats insane.
None of us have the full story, and we will never get the full story from both sides so all of this speculation.
