The Baseball 2Day Coaching Journal conducted a coaches survey several years ago. here is one of the questions and some of the responses.
What is the strangest thing that a parent ever said to you?
I called a mother to remind her that her son would be catching the next game and he needed to bring a "cup." She replied, "but he brings a water bottle?"
"You're not that good of a coach. I'm going to coach a team next year and kick your ass!"
When Player Did Not Show For Practice: "I thought his Dad would bring him." (from the Mom) "I thought his Mom would bring him." (from the Dad)
"Parents seldom talk to me since Im the 3rd base coach, they save all the good stuff for the head coach!" "I am glad to see the season is over, too much running around." (when that parent only came to two games.) Do we have a game today? (we were at the game with our uniforms on..including her son)
After we beat a team 18-1, a parent on the other team told me it wasn't a real loss because their best pitcher didn't pitch.
