We don’t need BB to volunteer when we are all willingly writing checks for professional coaching!

If he wants to coach for the good of the community - then he can go coach a team his kid isn’t on! But oh wait he doesn’t have any credentials to coach!

The sole reason he is coaching is to put his thumb on the scale for his kid. Period. End of discussion.

Thanks Kent

The Real Dad Coach is running a business that is also benefiting his daughter and making a living on that. BB is a volunteer doing this for the good of everyone, the difference should be understood and appreciated. And by the way, good for them this is a free country where the consumer can decide to make a change if they don’t like the product.

except in this case where nothing is "free" and the consumer is 3k in the hole as a result of false advertising.

just pointing out the truth.

This is true - if BB's MO was purely altruistic, there are plenty of CRUSA travel teams that would benefit from a kind and dedicated guy like BB. But at the ECNL level, where the club advertises, and people pay for, PROFESSIONAL COACHING - BB has no place.

U guys are spoiled at FC Bucks, I don’t get it are you not ok with a dad coach even if that dad coach were really good, fair and look out for the best interest of everyone? Look at Real they have a dad coach and the team is doing great....

and look at FC Bucks, which has a dad coach who isn't fair and only looks out for the best interest of his own kid - see the difference

Can anyone answer why the club doesn’t list BB as the assistant coach on the ECNL website - if everything was on the up and up with BB he would be listed on the ECNL website and he would be on the Bucks Staff and Bucks would actually advertise him as a coach.

The whole stinks to high heaven!

So this is the state of youth soccer for you parents?
Complaining, misery, bashing, negativity...

I’m not on anyone’s “side”.

Just reading some of your posts and noticed how everyone has lost sight of what actually matters.

Because its not on the up and up. They are purposely lying to us. The club should either completely prohibit unpaid/non-professional dad/mom coaches after a certain age or level within the club (which is what they currently advertise), or they should allow any dad/manager who played some HS soccer to be an assistant coach.

Anyone know why Joey Baloney, who is listed as Manager for his older daughter's team, isn't acting as an assistant coach for that team line BB does?

I think people lost sight of what actually matters when some people thought it would be a good idea to pick a team in a parent's living room and then hold fake tryout (which people pay for!!!)

So for you that’s why you are this negative and miserable? Not judging, just asking.

All I can say is to the haters, defenders...whoever , drop the misery and remember what it’s all about. Bigger picture.

It’s not this. It’s not the constants bashing, blaming, hatred... really is sad.

Seriously- why don’t you just stop reading?

And I could list a bunch of other things that are really sad with this team also, starting with a dad coach who is biased and favors his kid who in turn wields her power to exclude and make other kids on the team miserable, or how about a coach that threatens to cut kids on his team because of something of their parents did. Or how about the love of soccer being sucked out of kids because of the environment on the team. Or how about the 11 year olds that tried out for the team and were never given a chance because BB was on a quest to get his kid on what he thought would be an incredible team? Lots of things sad about this team, and you continually defending the indefensible is also really sad.

That was 2 years ago. Why are you still this angry 2 years removed?

and EDP isn't a scam? EDP is worse than DA and ECNL when it comes to pay to play. If you want your child to have more opportunities then look to ECNL or DA. I wouldn't look at FC Bucks or FC Delco, but if I lived in NJ there is no doubt I would be looking at SJEB, PDA or Cedar Stars, which all are a better path to college for your child.

Compared to Bucks or GDA which costs at least 2-3X depending on the teams?! Ha ..... you are mad bro! You know what's a worse path than Real? Yep, FCB! You can play or you cant ... do you think if these teams showed up at a clinic at Nova that the coach would pick all ECNL players just because?! CRA CRA!

If what you say is true Bucks needs to make this known sooner rather than later.. or there may not be a team next year. And just getting rid of BB is not going to be enough.
