  1. LW offers no knowledge that the older guy isn't a good coach, just that he's 40 something and fat.
  2. LW offers no assertion that she's good at coaching or teaching, just that she played college basketball.
  3. LW seems to be presenting herself as around 15 or so years younger than the other guy, which means he may well just have more experience.
  4. The team is for 6 year olds. At that age, the basketball coach is half primary school recess aide, half babysitter, and maybe a soupçon of coaching. Not picking the young woman for the babysitting job is the opposite of sexism.
  5. And if you want a trained basketball coach for a bunch of six year olds, LW, maybe you should mellow out with your kids a bit.

Also, nice job of Doyin with that "In any case, yes, you’re right—I think it’s ridiculous that you’ll rarely see women coaching boys in sports leagues across the country" that never actually agrees with what she's mad about.
