    "When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination." - Thomas Sowell. This is a must-read, cautionary tale for any parents with kids in youth sports or any adult considering coaching children. We have a coaching crisis in this country. Because of the parents with unrealistic assessments of how much more important their kids are to their teams or just how good (or not) their children are, coaches are putting their personal and professional reputations on the line when they coach a team for these parents: And the risks are starting to outweigh the rewards. Nothing ruins youth sports like adults is the unfortunately very true and accurate story of Coach Carlos, a once-in-a-lifetime, well-loved, and wildly successful high school girl's basketball coach in the Pacific Northwest who's reputation was unfairly destroyed by an obsessed parent who couldn't stand the rules being applied to his daughter and an inept school district who didn't have the backbone to make him stop. Written by a parent who documented everything over the three years Carlos coached the high school team, this book captures every available detail of all the lies and misinformation used by one parent as he ensnared another parent and used six sophomore girls to ultimately achieve his goal of getting rid of the coach who cut his daughter.
