Doesn the PCT Process provide a way for Parents to ambush the Coach in a group setting?
No. PCT in fact is designed to PREVENT this. Coach asks and does not answer questions during this meeting. Further, only 3 questions are asked in a compressed, 25-minute format. Parents explicitly agree to these rules as a condition of participation. When the 3 questions are answered by parents, or the 25 minutes expire, the meeting is over and the Coach exits the meeting by leaving the room. The PCT provides a forum for parents to express issues to Coach without Coach giving up any authority or opening him/herself up to any kind of group-level “ambush”. The structured PCT meeting is run by Coach and is set up to protect the Coaching staff from any kind of verbal abuse.
