I think the implied "why aren't you using these, you should use these" when talking about said playbook and drill sheet is the difference here. Well, we don't know if that was the whole convo, and even if someone sent it that way to me I would happily accept. I believe that if it takes something as small as someone, who coaches at a higher level (not always better, but at least in the same ballpark if they're coordinator or higher), sending you a playbook and drills to be an insult you must be exhausting in the long run. I don't think you understand the scenario I am talking about...which may or may not be the situation the OP described. What I am describing is someone going to you and saying "Hey, I know you run the flexbone, but at the HS I run AirRaid..so here is the Air Raid playbook I want you to run, and here are our Air Raid drills I want you to install... "

OP did reply and say the playbooks were asked for by the youth league. Which is weird because why ask for them and then thumb your nose at the gift horse?

If the local D3 coach unilaterally declared that you were a feeder for him and started sending you material with the strong implication that you weren’t smart enough to run your own program and sent you playbooks with the implication that your playbook sucked and you should be running his, how would you react? I Wouldn't coach Rifles

Coaches Took over a program two years ago and have been trying to build a relationship with the youth program. I give them open door policy, put together playbooks and drill books for them. they keep coming back and saying that they are not a feeder program for the high school team, how would some of you react and handle this? Tell them ok, tell them you will leave the door open for them if they change their mind, but would like to ask permission to talk to their kids about coming to your school. Foster a relationship with the higher level coaches, in the program (Give them tickets to games etc.) find out who their best kids are, and if they wont send kids your way try to get in touch with their parents. Also talk to their rivals One great way to get kids in is to host camps, get bodies on your property, from there its up to you to sell the program and get kids wanting to come there Host coaching clinics, get coaches in to see what you do, you may get someone who likes the way you run the program T Shirts, hats , car magnets can sweeten the deal, at very least it's cheap advertising Some youth programs won't, and the guys I've spoken to in some feeder programs, feel the HS is bullying them into doing things they don't want to do. To which I asked then why not leave?, but perish the thought of ever stepping down as a HC somewhere, but that's another story But in this case id just accept that they aren't going to budge and try to work around it as best you can
