I believe he retired in December.

Does North Newton have a coach on faculty staff or is he a lay coach? Did you have a bad experience with a lay coach that contributed to your stance opposing them?

No idea. 
No

Nope. Not see a single snap/play/rotation/whatever. In practice 

Scenario in Coach Sparty World

You are coaching North Newton Spartans, 2023, you show up to August practice with 17 guys on the roster, its time for your 1st team session and you and your staff want finally reps in contact team session, thud, or otherwhise, Johnny did not come to any of Coach Sparty's off season workouts, but he did show up day 1 with is physical and all his paperwork.  Johnny goes through the practice and does all the running and all the Coach Sparty individual drill work as assigned by coaches, so its time to get in there as a "Scout" team member, yet per your response, you would go tell that kid to go to the sidelines.   I believe I have outline that philosophy correctly, if not what am I missing?    

Or better yet, said player can allow you 12 players to play a JV game ( yes I have coached JV games with 12, 13, 14 guys before) you go to the game, he is the only kid who did not get a snap in all game, because you know, non mandatory work outs that were missed.   I am sure the rest of the team,parents admins would support you in this scenario to prove your point and I am sure that will equate in postiive experience for Coach Sparty team in the future off season workouts.  

Good Luck

Correct all around.  And I’d do it all again the next day and game.

2024-he's no longer coaching. He's not even sure who the coach at North Newton is.

In this scenario, at least I did the correct thing unlike the folks who would’ve gotten rid of me and the kid. 
No brainer.

Correct thing according to what, The Bully Handbook?

That kid didn't have a ride to get to off season workouts, he had to ride the bus to school and he was bullied by the other students for being poor. Now he's being bullied by a coach.

That kid had to work a full time job in the off season to both pay for the football fees and to help his family out. Now he's being excluded from the team for missing non-mandatory workouts.

This is a bad attitude for a coach to have, hopefully it's never been implemented.

Bully?  Lol. 

Ask for a ride.  Use the phone that’s in their hands 24/7.  
 

If you want to be there, you will find a way.  Enough with the excuses.  
 

I have done my part derailing this thread and i apologize.  I will not be commenting further on this.
