The other day a dad, that guy, yelled at his son during a basketball game. He clearly needed to be embarrassed to do what he wanted him to do. Because it is all about him being better right then, right there even if he does not want it.
Later that game, this man, that guy, got frustrated with the coach. You know, the person who is taking time from his family to teach the game to his child, the person who knows much about the game and is willing to do anything to help his child.
Later that night, that guy was so outraged he posted something on social media, unlike others who do regularly. He felt he needed to "get this off his chest", and release some of his hurt. And if he did post, there would be many people who would like his quote and maybe even comment how they agree making remarks about a situation that they know nothing about.
The next day that guy let the coach have it face to face because it made the situation better for his child and that is all he wants is for his child to get a fair shake. And right now...it just is not happening.
That guy got a little group of parents together who agreed with him or at least would not disagree with him and started to create division on the team because his son was not being treated fairly. Does the coach not know how much he shoots at home? And that AAU team that never wins, but his son scores a lot especially when the game is over and nobody is playing defense anymore.
I mean, that guy will cuss and swear about the coach behind his back, but smile and pat him on the back in person.
That guy is a likeable person, so his opinion has to have some validity because he's a great guy that guy is.
And then when that guy's son graduates, he will tell stories for years about how his son was mistreated and never have anything to do with the program again. He cared so much for four years, but then silence.
Don't be that guy...or that girl.
