My opionion is this - you took a shot at the high school coach in a public setting. If your ultimate goal was to build ONE program that was not the way to do it. You should have met with him and all came together. Im glad you know you need to step away and get someone in the youth level who is going to promote a good relationship with the high school, not an adversarial one. Good luck to that program, what was done at the board meeting set the program back ten years. Relationships between coach and player, the forming of a 18u travel team (which im sure will run in direct conflict with the high school) will make kids choose, and overall bad relations with the youth programs. Good luck to all involved with that.
