[Mr. Ivey]

From expirences, dealing with an adult that is acting in an overcontroling manor, it's not the greatest idea to call a meeting of a bunch of students to talk with them about this matter. The adult will sometimes see this tactic as a way of "ganging up" on them, or just argue even worse in the idea that you, the student are being disrespectful to an adult. This may be an occourance that other parents or teachers need to take care of. You don't want to cause trouble with the team member's parents. I'll touch on the issue of threatening to kick someone off the team. It is acceptable in certain situations, for example, a student is causing trouble, and has been sat down and talked with by responsible adults about their behavior on numerous occasions, and has been repremanded for their actions in an according maner. But from the comment that if you tell someone to do something, and the adult threatens you for telling someone to help this does not sound right from this man's opinion. From my standing you really need to get another adult in this situation, it really sounds like something that could get realy ugly if students try and work it out. Adults will always be respectable twards each other by courtsey, as I have seen, if you have a parent or teacher talk to these parents there will be a better line of communication and hopefully your problem will be resalved in a civil maner. Hope what I have said helps.
