Sad scene at a JV game this week (was going to say funny, but it really wasn't):

Opposing team dad who apparently didn't know any of his daughter's teammate's names, but was quick to yell "pass" when one of them picked up the ball. He was "cheering" her on with little tidbits as he played with younger siblings on the side - "get the draw," "hustle," "get in there," "you gotta want it," etc. Got tired of hearing her name. She finally got possession near midfield and it was "go, go, go" until she forced her way in and scored. Then it was "yeah, do that every time." At halftime he walked around to the other side and was talking to her through the fence while the rest of the team was huddled together.

I guess I should know better by now, but it baffles me how clueless parents can be - not only about the game, but how their actions can negatively impact their kids.
