Basketball Unfair Coach

I think it's always advisable to approach the coach first. Say that you understood that the rules are that kids play equal time. You have to be a little flexible on that though. If one kid plays 14 minutes and another plays 12, that's pretty equal! And the coach can't just stop the play with the officials because somebody's 12 minutes are up!

Also, be sure that you are incredibly accurate and that you know for sure how much each kid played. If they played an entire 2 quarters, that's easy to measure. So how are you measuring 70-80%? Someone is playing 2 quarters, close to 3, but a little over or a little under? Be sure you are accurate.

Then, you have to give the sports coordinator time to observe the games and take notes. Then the coordinator has to speak with the coach.

Are they recording the games? Are their films that can be viewed both to assess the playing time but also to look at how kids play and make adjustments to their technique?

Just quitting? That's a last resort. And it doesn't send a good message to the kids - it says "If you don't like things, quit. Don't try to make them better. Don't speak to the coach or the supervisors. Just walk away angry."

What did the coordinator say exactly? Did you get a response? That would be helpful to know.
If the rule clearly states that each player must get equal playing time, then go a level up if you're not satisfied. But I hope you talked to the coach first.
I would only quit if a) my child was frustrated and no longer cared to play and b) if I had done everything in my power to make sure it was fair. If I didn't get anywhere and my kid still wanted to play, I'd just let him finish the season and then specifically ask for a different coach the next year.

Good luck :)

I find your post confusing. Apparently, the Coach isn't playing your child like he should be and you're upset. What does your child say? What does the Coach say? I would ask the Coach nicely "hey I noticed that Billy only played one quarter, what gives? I thought all kids got equal time?"

If nothing changes then you have a decision, quit or accept for this season. That is up to you.

You can go the higher authority for your problem. They might take a look over it.

Tell the supervisor again. This is the problem with team sports.

In team sports at every level, all of the players on the team don't get playing time.

You are only letting us know your opinion on him not playing but not his opinion. If your son is fine with things being the way they are then don't go dumping your bad feelings on your kid about him not playing. There may be things going on with your son during practice that would get him no playing time.

I say let him ride it out if he can endure and let him try another basketball team if he wants to continue in that sport however that won't ensure game playing time.

My son played on a football team where I purchased all of his equipment out of my own hard earned money, he was always on time for practice, worked hard during practice but got very little playing time. I wasn't happy about this but he was proud to be a part of this team. My issues weren't his issues and I needed to let him finish the year out which is what I did.

Did you just recently bring this to the attention of the coordinator? Did they attend LAST Saturday (3 days ago) or will they this coming Saturday? I'd expect to see results on the Saturday FOLLOWING the sit-in game, so you might be too hasty at the moment. If nothing changes in the future after there has been time to observe and address the problem, then you may very well have to either live with it or quit.
