ok
this isn't a reason to quit
but it is an excuse to miss practice (spring ball)
that i haven't heard before
just heard it
"coach, my boss at work called me and said i needed to come in because he had to go take a drug test and he is worried about the government stealing his DNA so he can't be there and wants me to work the store tonight"
ummm
ok
i don't think the kid could make that one up if they tried

Got these just today - "it's not right for me to play with guys that put everything they have into it" and "I didn't know you had to come every day."
Oldies but goodies: "Coach, I'll be honest. I'd rather be at home on the couch."
"I'm joining the band."
"My parents are dead and I have to get a job to help my momma pay the rent."
"I've got a bad case of juvenile arthritis."
"My grandfather said he knew a lot of guys that got hurt playing football."
"I'm addicted to cigarettes and this running is killing me."
"I overheat too easily."
"I was in a car wreck when I was young and I can't take blows to the head."
I could go on and on and on... Hey, I'm starting a thread along similar lines about your all-time fastest quit.

I know a youth coach who on the opening day, big good looking kid with a mohawk shows up, paid fee etc. They do a warm up lap around the field, kid struggles. Tells coach, hes going to go get some "pickle juice" never to be seen or heard from again, no refund, nothing. First day, first movement.

hmmm, these are some good ones guys. Ive heard some off the wall ones coaching from inter-city also. One African American parent told one of our African American Coaches his son didnt start wide out and had to transfer was because he "OUR COACH" was racist towards black kids...... Admins. actually took it serious and questioned our coach?!?!?! I was actually there when they asked him about it, It was the funniest thing ever to see our coach's face when they asked him was he racist towards his own race.

A student brought her mom in for a conference with the principal because she accused him of being biased against Hispanics. It was a short meeting. When my friend pulled out his driver's license and showed that although he went by "Jim" his formal first name is Juan it became clear that what was assumed to be an Italian last name was actually Spanish. Mom slapped daughter, apologized, and left.
