Re: Daddy-Coach or Mama-Coach
The "I'm-paid-to-run-this-team-and-that's-the-extent-of-my-investment" coaches are often too quick to dismiss the importance of building a connection with the kids on their roster. Some of those coaches treat the children like they're gaming chips. The daddy-coaches/momma-coaches seem a lot more likely to get invested in the team and it's players on a personal level. In general, the daddy-coach/momma-coach gives additional focus to building that team's camaraderie because it enhances their own child's experience.

SRSA 00s and 03s started that way for the first 3 years before AS came in too. Those teams didn't end up too shabby.

As I recall in 01; Feet 01 started that way, Red Star, Diamonds all have or had that situation and all are good competitive teams in LH.

Of course there can always be the case you are taking about, but NO WAY IMHO is it "in most cases". In any sport the benefits of direct family life long experiences of a parent coach easily trump the yelling concern you are mentioning above.
Many parents who are not even coaches go over the line at times with yelling and coaching there kids in an improper way. I have been guilty of that....

Ex: When little Jane (dd of parent/coach) is having a bad game (because they all do) will parent/coach pull their child and bench them for another child? Parent/coach needs not to show favoritism given the situation.

Totally agree with this statement.
