I was raised to never talk back to my elders and have respect for my authority figures (teachers & coaches) so in this situation to speak up for myself would be disrespectful based on the way I was raised. I would have a very hard time doing this and doing it correctly even if my parents told me it was okay. I've had coaches like this before. They are trying to prove a point that they don't care how long you've played it's their team now. If you stand up to these type of coaches it just makes things worse because then you look like a trouble maker. I believe the coach is trying to threaten and bully these kids and someone needs to intervien. Coaches can come up with the wierdest things to exercise their power. My BIL was cut his senior year because he refused to cut his hair. Go figure.
