Are High School Coaches Sitting Ducks?
When parents make charges against high school coaches and the coaches deny the charges, who do you believe? Frequently, the nod goes to the one with the best connections, the most “juice”.

Then he was shocked to find out the parent was handing out fliers attacking him. While everyone needs to be concerned about who is coaching high school student-athletes and what they are teaching them, many parents do not come to situations like these unbiased. Some of them are so biased they behave unreasonably and erratically. The situation could get worse before it gets better. Read Bridget Wentworth’s story here.
