Coaching high school basketball became a challenge that Scott Stanfield says he could no longer endure. He spent seven years as head coach of the boys' basketball team at Brainerd High School and says the threatening behavior of some of the parents took too much away from the rewards of coaching. Stanfield is not easily rattled, he spent decades as a police officer. When he decided to quit earlier this year, his story made national headlines and brought attention to the parent culture in youth sports. One of the interesting highlights of Stanfield's story is that the athletic director, Charlie Campbell, stood by him and the two remain friends. In this episode, we talk with Stanfield and Campbell about what coaches and athletic directors encounter, the effect of club sports on parent attitudes and the future of high school sports.

In January, Brainerd High School basketball coach Scott Stanfield and his entire staff announced their intentions to resign at the end of the basketball season. The coach cited ongoing tension with some parents over play time and other coaching decisions as the reason he intended to leave the post. He told the Brainerd Dispatch these tense moments made his job as a high school basketball coach more difficult than his previous profession as a police officer. Stanfield's resignation resonated with many people across high school athletics and beyond, making the story go viral. But as the dust settles, what will the Brainerd School District do to prevent these types of issues for its new coaching staff, and for other coaches who are feeling the same kinds of pressures? What can be done to improve the atmosphere for the kids involved in high school sports? Dispatch sports guys Mike Bialka and Jeremy Millsop sit down with Charlie Campbell, activities director for the Brainerd School District, to learn more about the district's reaction to the situation and its plan moving forward.
