No its not just you, but you are
far more sophisticated in the ways of the interwebs than the average person, so you caught it when none of the other parents did.
Here is what I think is going on. Coach B is unsophisticated in the ways of big data and thinks this is cheap, easy, and harmless. He needs to be educated by someone (like you?) who knows what is going on.
This idea that it's better for the kids if they don't have to go out and meet people face to face and ask them to help the team is so misguided. It's better for the kids if the
DO go out and meet people face to face. We are becoming an anonymous society and it's bad, really bad, for us (don't get me started on that).
You could do the school, the coach, and especially the kids a favor if you described to them what the deal is here. Point out that it's not free or harmless, etc. Hopefully, the coach will accept the education.
