One parent stated this is what happens at unsanctioned events. However, there have been numerous cases of bad behavior by adults in youth sports during sanctioned tournaments.
Talib has reportedly been arrested in Dallas in previous years.
The Texas Rangers youth baseball program continued to use a coach last season after multiple serious allegations against him.
Additionally, umpires are leaving by the dozens from local associations. Some referees and umpires state they have parents follow them to their car.
