It's not being about upset or not. It's just very frustrated for me to see parents marching into school administrative building and "demand" for something.
As you said in your post, you're a teacher as I was. I too can understand a child "tatalling" to their parents is a semi-difficult issue.
In the past, I've always asked the parents (after our private discussion) to have their kids talk to me instead. It works in great favors for everyone. The child gains confidence and self-esteem in talking to an adult about a certain issue. They "feel" they've resolved it on their own. The parents will feel they've communicated with the teaching staff. It's an open communication and everyone is on the same page.
As for this case, I provided the minimal advise because I don't know if her son and his teammates had talked to the coach already and still got rejected or what. I don't know what steps they have taken in order to get their positions back. If they had done all that and still gotten no where, of course, by all means, the parents should be involved.
I didn't want to assume and thus I gave my very basic opinion.
