I am not talking about parents who complain and accuse after their child is released. I am talking about a player and parent still in your program.
Let's clear something up first. Good parents outnumber problem parents in a big big way. Good families are what make coaching enjoyable and rewarding. The media has wrongfully demonized parents, but the problem parent does occasionally exist and needs to be dealt with. Never forget, the problem parent in sports is the exception, not the rule.
If a coach has a problem with a lot of parents every year ... you have to take a look at the coach.
Back to the question. Cut the kid? There are so many possible arguments for both the "yes" and "no" side of the question, however valid or invalid.
