Short answer: hell yea
Long answer:
I've watched the program at one of our rival schools unravel over the last five years because of similar garbage. Sometimes it takes a long time, but no program can survive a coach that pulls that crap and be successful for very long.
I mean, the program at the school where I'm about to start my third year as head coach had unraveled for the same reasons which led to my employment.
The failure of such coaches is inevitable, but sometimes what goes around takes its sweet time to come around.
This is comforting to hear. Though I'm sure the wait sucks.Short answer: Yes it does. Maybe not immediately but I always see programs deteriorating over time.
As coaches, they may be pleasing the parents, but eventually cheer becomes a joke to the point that you can't pay kids to try out. Because even sideline cheer programs suffer once kids know they'll always make it and skills don't matter.
