We have recently had a parent posting messages on some well read newspaper forums. His son has played jv for us for 2 years and is now on varsity. He knows our team very well including players and their strengths and weaknesses. He posted what our Oline weaknesses were after the first game, going so far as to report how many times we ran to each side and out of what formations. He even includes the best way to defend our formations personnel wise. The really bad part is that he is pretty much right on. He posts info that I as an asst. DC take hours to chart every wkend when we get new film. Not only that he throws in personal messages to the head coach after he posts this telling him how he needs to change this and that etc.He is posting this on a forum board all the coaches in the state read over. Has anyone else heard of this or how to stop it short of a beat down in the parking lot?

sounds a little like something we're seeing on a local rivals board. at least our parent isn't "scouting" us. he's just talking trash to students at rival schools. I'd say sit the guy down and talk to him. parents can be idiots some times, but i'd say call him in and see if you can explain why what he is doing is wrong.

I would not spend anytime on this kind of stuff. If one of your parents can figure out what you are doing and who the weak links are then I am sure your opponents coaching staffs can put it together after watching your film. I am sure that it is somewhat irritating, but you need to spend your time getting ready for the next game. I don't read any of those kinds of things, I don't even know where to look for them. Spend your time being the best coach you can be and let the rest roll off.

espose him to the parents that know what is right and wrong
or
just let him keep beng stupid and win
what is the reasoning behind why he is doing this?
sounds rather petty to me
wcocoach is right, it's not like your opp's can't figure out the same stuff
