I rattled the board members I know and they reached out and he finally called a few hours before the first practice. He laid out the expectations that he be a reserve player and not ready for game roster and I was agreeable if not ecstatic. I complimented him on his coaching that I've seen and mentioned that I've heard from others that he's a very good coach too. He was nice and I reiterated that there's no expectations beyond reps at practice and he said not to worry that he will get better. I was thankful and let him know that.
A lot of anxiety the last 5 days awaiting that call. I'm sure from his perspective a parent having their kid be a 'practice squad' player can be a recipe for disaster in that the pare3nt applies undue pressure to lift the kid to regular roster. I can't let him know that that's not me with just words. It'll have to be shown.
