Think there's not pressure being a coach?
Even at the youth level, it's not easy keeping players or worse, parents happy with playing time.
Check this rude dog out, out Philly way.
In an Associated Press story, it was reported Wayne Derkotch, 40, was watching his son play, well, not playing enough, so he thought he might communicate those feelings to the coach.
You know, maybe just offer a suggestion, be his kid's advocate, that kind of thing.
Hey, he loves his son and he knows he's already All World.
So he does what any good father does, right? He kindly shares with the coach that his child might be able to help the team, and says that he should go in right now. And, for the team, he wants to be heard so he passionately tries to make his point.
With a gun.
His son plays in a league for six and seven-year old boys.
In a major surprise, Derkotch was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment.
At the same game, a referee threw a punch at a man during an argument and was also arrested on assault charges.
Wonder how dad explained that day to his son later. Wonder how his son faces his teammates and classmates after all that. Wonder why anyone would desire to coach youth sports where parents feel they are above the coach regarding who plays and who doesn't.
Wonder what lessons that boy learned from his father.
