Coach P,
I think it's both. Now my son was fortunate enough to be trained by Coach Brisson and Coach Jamie P...while friends of ours had a good coach, but certainly less qualified than the two mentioned IMO. Now is that Coach Brisson's fault? Yes and no. Due to limited resources (man-power, time, money) He made the decision to place his next option/coach(s) with that other team. So, now that the coach has been placed, it's truly up to him or her to determine then if the player's experience is a positive or negative one. Obviously, the Brisson's, Hyslop's, Tormey's of the coaching world can't coach every team, but they rely on others to adhere to their standard and yes, Coach P, sometimes they fail. Resulting in a negative experience for the player and family. Then, the DOC has the option of retaining/firing this problem and gauging from your post(s) weren't you also (and currently) part of both these organizations? So are you partly to blame for the player's discontentment, too then based on your theory?
