Fed Up, Vik Volleyball Coach Quits

Item: Curtis steps down as CHS volleyball coach after 7 seasons, says she's tired of the hassle/Mark Nelke, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: "I'm tired of dealing with disgruntled/jealous parents and players that are taking their frustrations out on me and my daughter," Curtis said. "And I am trying to look for a more peaceful atmosphere for me and my daughter." Curtis' daughter, Kylie, is a sophomore who has started at setter and/or hitter the past two seasons for the Vikings. She was named to the all-5A Inland Empire League team each season.

Question: Would you want to deal with parents of players as a coach of a high school sports team?
