"They're cheating the shit out of the kid. We as kids don't know."

LeBron James took to twitter last night after the Elite 8 games went final to rant about how coaches, specifically youth coaches, aren't hard enough on their players nowadays.

LeBron mentioned how growing up his coaches were tough and stayed on him every day, as opposed to now when coaches "won't get on them because their afraid of losing the kid, or losing the sponsorship that comes with the kids, or have their own agenda."

These comments echo the statement made by South Carolina coach Frank Martin, who is one of the few remaining coaches who embody the type of leadership that LeBron is looking for.
