This post doesn't make much sense. If all of this is
happening during the game then why ins't the coach stepping
in and doing something about it? Obviously if this is
happening then if the coach isn't doing anything of course
your daughter needs to go talk to the coach about it first
with you out of it. If the coach doesn't stop it then you,
the parents need to step in and talk with the coach.
