Youth Coaching Behaviour
OP should have swung on the father of player 1, what a douche.
Don't worry, AD will never have authority over a sporting team unless you count on his xbox.


This is actually a good example of how things can get out of control.
So, basically Player 1 (Team A) gives an elbow to the gob to Player 2 (Team B). Player 3 (Team B) steps in to defend P2 and gives Player 1 a bit of push to say "don't do that"
Then Coach of team A (who is also the father of Player 1) gives Player 3 a bit of curry for pushing his little princess around.
We don't have all the information, but it sounds like Team B beat Team A through playing hard on the man and the refs not calling fouls. Team A was a little frustrated.

I listened to a podcast recently with Vagues dad who must be a junior coach in WA. He mentioned the game where Drmic elbowed Goulding and at the end of the game Drmic put his hand out to shake Goulding's and Goulding didn't shake. Vagues dad said he noticed that week in the junior leagues players not shaking other players hands which he hadn't seen before.
Moral of the story 1: Professionals and adults have an obligation to show sportsmanship and how to behave in these situations.
Moral of the story 2: Goulding is, and will always be a flog.
