IF you can have non-parent coaches that is the best, but those are hard to come by at the younger ages.

Yeah, it sucks. I totally understand it.
If your kid is good enough to play Tier 1 but those coaching spots are filled, and they should be filled by staff coaches, if you're coaching at the top level as a designated non-parent coach then thats a whole other ball game.
But I can then totally understand a parent-coach not wanting to coach a team that their kid isnt on. Families have logistics to deal with, at the end of the day these are kids and their parents are mothers and fathers and employees.
You cant expect them to say: "Well, my kid will play on this team and I'll coach this team. Twice as much work means twice as much fun!!!"
Yeah. No. doesnt work that way.
