I bet for some its fun to have the old man as the coach, but my dad was one of those that went out of his way to not show favortism. We have all seen the teams where the coaches son pitches and bats fourth and the kid can not hit or throw a ball worth a damn. I get it though, lots of fathers want to relive their youth and what better way right? In my neighborhood a guy coached his son in little league football and was one of these guys that wanted to win 50 to 0 if that was possible. I mean this guy thought he was Tom Landry, it was so pathetic. At a younger age the main goal should be creating a situation where all the kids could have fun. So often it turns into adults fighting and arguing and the kids becoming disinterested. Opie, im sure you werent one of those guys, but we have all seen them. The Vic Morrow Bad News Bears type coaches.
