Kids respond WAY better to coaches who are not their parents (for the most part).
That being said, sounds like your kid is just being a bit of a brat. At nine years old he should have no problem listening to his father, whether the father is a coach or not.
At higher ages and levels, being a dad-coach is just a bad idea.
