We have a situation where in a couple of weeks, our school will play our rival school. The fact that it is a rival may or not be relevant, but I offer a question.
Has anyone out there ran into this situation?
What would you do if that were your situation to try to make sure that the dad did not get any extra information?
Of course these questions are asked if the player and dad are unscrupulous...

I've been in a situation like this before, where we had a kid whose dad coached at our rival school. The only difference is that the coach did not coach on game nights, as he was allowed to go see his kid play.
That being said, I would probably refrain from saying anything to the kid about this stuff. I would bet a month's pay that he wants to beat his dad's team more than anything as it is. Even if you were to bring up the topic and ask the kid if his loyalites lied with you, you could offend the kid and open a can of worms that doesn't need to be opened.

We've went through our share of playstation and sega genesis controllers. I know how that is. I just bought a new PS2 controller Monday. I'll get you back USC!!! (lol) On the thread, I think Flexbone is probably right...the kid doesn't want to lose to anyone, especially his dad. |

I have to support dcohio, which I find myself doing a lot.  I would not expect the dad to try to take advantage. He'll try his best to win, but somewhere inside he wants his kid to win. I just don't think it will be a factor. At least, I hope not. |

Then on friday night when we knock his head off and beat his @$$ it would be done fairly and squarely and he would have no excuses. This is crazy, and all I can think of is this: I want to sit next to Mom and here her getting pissed at her husband |
