Parents don't decide where I play players; that's my job as coach. I'd make the conversation as brief as possible and not give in.   Coach Ortega I'd listen to Mr. Bullerman's concerns, and I'd briefly address the situation. I'd also let Mr. Bullerman know that I have a plan for my players and that I do all I can to put them where they can best use their skills and abilities. I'd end by thanking him and letting him know I heard his concerns.
