Need some coaching advice
Back in Jan. I was elected the coach of my church's softball team. Another player from our team also, put his name in and lost. Last year we both ran the team because the former coach quit half way through the year. He was very mad that he didn't get elected coach. He told people he quit and wasn't going to play because he wasn't elected coach and I said fine. Then he came to different events so i figured he didn't really meant what he said. Then he said he was quiting again and moving to Canada to meet a girl. Well last week he called my assistant coach and asked him to find out if he could be put back on the team he wasn't moving to Canada. I said why didn't he just email me or call me. My assistant called him back and said you need to call Jamie and he said he didn't have anyway to get ahold of me. Which is a lie because everygame last year he would call my husband to find out if he was coming to the game, as text messaged me, and emailed me, and I am in our church directory. He called me and I told him before I say yes he would need to sit down with the Pastor of our church and I before practice and work out a few issues. Well at church on Wed. he went to our Pastor and asked him what the meeting is about. He told him don't worry its nothing don't sweat it. It is just about commintment issues and we will discuss everything on Saturday. He called me and said the Pastor told me we don't have to meet everything is worked out. And I went WHAT??? I said no its not we need to still meet before I will say yes to you being on the team. I talked to the Pastor about the conversation and he said that he is lying.
He has quit twice and lied twice. And I am not sure if I should let him back on the team. My heart is saying this is a church team and you need to forgive wrongs that occur to you, but my head is screaming this is the biggest mistake you know what is going to happen don't let him on the team. My assistant is torn as well. The Pastor said when ever dealing with him he treats him as if he is a teenager and keeps giving him tons of chances. But he isn't a teenager he is 40 years old and should have consquences for his actions.
(Side note: Every year no matter what team he plays for he quits two-three times, but always comes back the next game acting as if nothing happened. He throws bats and has a bad reputation with all the umpires in the league)
