i run track and in my opinion its a little more involved than tennis. we have to tell our coach a few weeks in advance if were going away or arent going to be able to make a meet or something. youre mad becuase your coach concentrates too much on winning and not enough on teaching but if youre first doubles, i think you know almost as much if not more about the sport than the coach does. with high school sports (id have to exclude track from this), there isnt much a coach can teach you becuase if youre good coming into a sport its most likely becuase you grew up with it. they pretty much just do a lot of conditioning and teach the bad kids some basic skills of the sport.
was the obligation you had something that the coach might have though was unimportant or less important than the match? i dont think a coach yelling at a kid is a worthy reason to be fired. even if it was bad enough where he could be, they wouldnt fire him, they just wouldnt let him coach the team - or maybe if he had been around for a long time, they wouldnt do anything about it and just wait for you to leave the school. i mean if one kid had a problem with a teach whos been coaching for 25 years, i think that the kid whos only gonna be there for 4 has less precedence that the coach.
