Earlier this month I dismissed an athlete from the high school program for persistent infringment (documented) of team rules, and for final straw of back-talking and ignoring all direction in this one practice session, delaying everyone else's training that day until he just left the area.
This Monday I get call from the athlete's parent, calling me every name under the sun for embarrassing his son, and basically stating I am an embarrassment to coaching high school sports, and that he is filing a grievance.
Now I have meeting with the AD and Principal, probably more with the Superintendant if I hold my line. Should be interesting.
