No it did not have an impact other than an uncomfortable meeting btw my wife and the new DOC until she realized it was not an issue and he was just giving us a heads up. Luckily the DOC knew first hand the bs the other DOC pulled. However, it did impact other families we know of where the new club said no to even a tryout; my understanding was that fields for a tournament were not going to be allowed otherwise.Did this phone call have a significant negative impact your child’s soccer career and, if so, how? In the end, the risk of retaliation is way overblown. As a great soccer parent/philosopher once said on Jan. 16 in the “When should a player look for a new club?” thread:
“Yes but it take a special kind of a$@hole to call another DOC and make things up when he does not get his way. Thank goodness credible coachs and DOCs dont believe his crap.”
