The role of parents in the stands

I haven't forgotten the parent who sat across the court from the bench. He would talk with his daughter about how she was playing and what she could play better. I'm not sure everything he was suggesting was the same that the daughter was hearing in the huddle or at halftime. What is the girl supposed to do? Should she listen to her dad or listen to her coach? 

Click HERE for a brief interview with Kevin Eastman, VP for basketball operations with the Los Angeles Clippers. When asked why he would not say anything during his son’s games Eastman said, “The answer is simple. Because I’m a parent, not a coach.” He goes on to say that athletes play for coaches, just like people work for bosses in the real world. It is essential to communicate through coaches and bosses rather than a third party, and athletes can learn this skill through sports.
