A coach is recruiting the family, not just the player. They often look for reasons to say “no”, and frequently, those reasons are found on the sidelines.
The Sideline Coach: If you are yelling instructions that contradict the staff, you are a "problem parent."
The Public Complaint: Criticizing coaching decisions or playing time on Facebook is a fast track to a rescinded offer.
The Interruption: If a coach asks the athlete a question and the parent answers, the coach assumes the athlete lacks the maturity to lead a locker room.
The "Entitlement" Factor: Being dismissive of support staff or tour guides during an official visit is the fastest way to get blacklisted.
