Everyone thinks that their kid is better than they really are. There's a lot of flawed logic in those little bits that I just read. He talks about how good JIMMY is, but then how he was set up for failure because he had to face the top or meat of the order. Well, if JIMMY is that good, he should be able to get those guys out, so which is it? I'd say that Noble put him in those situations because he felt like JIMMY could handle them.
The other thing that these parents don't seem to grasp is that the coach's livelihood depends on wins and losses. You can't afford to not play your best players. If their kid isn't playing, it's in all likelihood because someone is better. Heck, if I was a coach, I'd have an all-Hitler youth OF if they were the best players.
I'm thinking that the scouts told them what they did about drafting JIMMY was in all likelihood an attempt to keep these psycho parents from bothering them. Especially in light of Ricky Bowen and Chris Corrigan getting drafted.

My son's 7 year old flag-football team As assistant, my job was to listen to the parents talk about how great their kids were, while the Head Coach could actually coach. That, and do my Coach Whittington impersonation before the game to fire up the players.
I was about to strangle about every parent there was out there by the end of the year. They were ALL convinced their precious baby was the best player on the team (LITERALLY!). I was about the only parent who knew his kid wasn't any good.

I've seen Rayner Noble go batshit crazy at a USM-Houston game once, but damn.

My senior year of HS a teammate and I coached 13-14 Dixie League Team and that is one of the reasons I did not go into coaching and teaching....while the kids were fun to be around the parents made it absolutely unbearable
My HS coach also lost his job (year after i graduated) as the baseball coach because essentially he wouldnt play some of the kids because they sucked whose parents were well connected to the school board
Anthony: No kids came to play with me today, not a single one, and I wanted someone to play with!
Mr. Fremont: Well, Anthony, you remember what happened the last time some kids came over to play. The little Fredricks boy and his sister.
Anthony: I had a real good time.
Mr. Fremont: Oh, sure you did, you had a real good time, and it's good that you have a good time, it's real good. It's just that...
Anthony: It's just that what?
Mr. Fremont: Well, Anthony, you uh... you wished them away into the cornfield, and their mommy and daddy were real upset.

I think I see why he wasn't one of the Coach 's favorites. He should have signed with MSU and played for Polk for 3 years. Dad would have still probably gotten his feelings hurt in his senior year, though.
