Best place I ever worked was Kentucky where the coaches were 250 yards from the field and the parents another 750 behind that the base coaches were kids who were 15-16 years old and the kids were 12. Easiest games I've ever had.

How can you coach a game from 250 yards away? And why would a parent even come to watch if they are 750 yards away? You can’t even watch that game with binoculars. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of.
