[QUOTE="nvts, post: 73848, member: 3814"] Hi, Christine, I'm so sorry for your difficult child. I wonder if it might be a good idea to catch the coach on the side. He might not even know that he was discriminating against your son. (a longshot, I know). But by handling it rationally, with concern, and any legal discrimination info. that you can have on hand, you could be: 1. showing difficult child the REAL way to handle discrimination 2. saving this guys reputation/career 3. striking a blow for the other talented kids who aren't the "picture-perfect" players that this guy wants to handle By addressing it rationally and asking the question, the least that can happen is you'll embarass the heck out of the clown and the most that could happen is another try-out. I just worry that so many of us don't say anything to protect our kids (God knows I used to!), when ultimately we're missing an opportunity to teach them something. No offense intended!!! Good luck with whatever you decide! Beth [/QUOTE]
