I know I digress here, but if we are going down the 'Like' button track can we include:

Isaac, when are you putting "like" buttons on comments?

Bear, that's pretty common in a lot of clubs.

Sometimes it also gives time for some of the parents to park their broomstick.

Happy Days, here is an example of the Parent Code of Conduct commonly included in club policy:

Coaches should not be approached immediately after or during a game by parents, where necessary parents should arrange a meeting time suitable to both parties to discuss concerns at a later time.

Not sure how it works with a parent who is also a wife, that still makes me chuckle mate, sorry...

I don't know if I should laugh or cry here...

Who cares ?

You make the call - starter/non-starter means nothing.

I'd listen to the parent, nod my head and then just say I made the decision that I thought best suited the situation. If the parent was abusive, just stay calm and say perhaps now ain't the best time and break contact.

Coaching ain't easy, don't 2nd guess yourself and no one should know your team better than you.

Firstly, don't worry about the parent. When you compromise your style and rotations to satisfy third parties you might as become a Senate Politician.
Secondly, don't take it out on the player because the mum has riled you. Weak coaches do this. Some of those weak minded coaches just need to man up.

If you haven't won a game all year and this was your first, then congratulations. Obviously what you did in the end got you the +6 points you needed. Perhaps reflect on what plays worked and what rotations gave you that result.

Finally, if you are worried about the mother going off again over her precious getting benched, your Team Manager is a good way to calm the situation, or find another parent who can influence her mindset.
