I want to shoot a basket at her face

I am in the process of writing a ranting blog post about what dicks some of the parents on my basketball team are but due to it's ridiculousness, I probably will never post it. So, in a nutshell, they piss me off. One particular lady obviously doesn't like me (maybe because I told her to tell her son not to be such a baby but who knows) and talks shit about me at every game. Another lady wrote an e-mail after I wrote one saying that I should be more positive, me, the most positive mother fuckin' kids coach ever. All I can say is that I am trying my hardest. I told these dumbshits that I don't know anything about basketball, I told the guy in charge of the league that he shouldn't have me coach because I don't know what to do but he said I'd be fine. Well, guess what bitches? My team sucks! We've lost every one of our games (5 so far) and only 3 of my 10 players have scored more than one basket. We lose by like 20 points every game and the team we play tomorrow beat us 24-10 on Wednesday. It's a nightmare. The boys show up for practice but not one of them can shoot a fricken' basket. My own kid scored 3 on Wednesday but absolutely refuses to admit that his shooting could use some work. He insists that he knows how to shoot and doesn't need to improve his technique. Well kid, let me tell ya... I don't know much but I do know that throwing your body in the air and using two hands to huck the ball at the basket as hard as you can is not the way you do it. Whatever, he'll learn someday I hope. What I have learned though is that not all teams are fun to coach. The kids are why I do it, not the parents. It certainly does feel better when your appreciated though and to know someone is sitting behind you with negative thoughts and negative words makes a person want to turn around and punch somebody in the face. I won't do that this time. I might accidentally huck a ball as hard as I can with two hands though... right at her mouth.

HEy Ang- its me your old friend ... Felipe.... but im posting under anonymous....cause im on the downlow like that...u probably do an awesome job at coaching ... its just nowadays everyone wants their kids treated like pussies... heaven forbid not every word that comes out of your mouth be positive... FUCK that .... sometimes kids need a swift kick in the ass to wake up and not be so stupid..... do u have an assistant coach>? that sux that the parents are being so negative... u should have a meeting with them and tell them your story about how u were literally thrown into the coaching position and ask if there are any parents that think they can do better or want to help speak up or shut the hell up ... see how many parents want to actually make the time to coach and be there for practices... i bet u there wont be 1 person to say shit... they are lucky u are coaching...that would piss me off if the parents were against me ..... where do your kids play ?? how old are they ..?? my 8 year old nephew just started playing this year ... he plays every saturday at balboner middle school... the coaches almost started boxing saturday ... it was gr8.. nothing like showing your kids about good sportsmanship ..anyways... love ya... keep up the good coaching...
