This makes perfect sense. How many teams have games and practices on Sundays? Why not? Because out of respect for the prevalent Christian beliefs, the schools honor the Christian 'day of rest'.
As "most of the team is Muslim" the coach is showing the same level of respect to Muslims as they do Christians.
So, is this a case of "Freedom for me, but not for thee"?
You are a kook.
Virtually every pro team plays on Sundays and HS sports dont usually do that because there is no easy way to get all of the players in to practice on weekends.
There is no “for us” at all.
Even a team prayer isnt allowed - might offend a muslim or an atheist.
Some public schools and universities are granting Muslim requests for prayer times, prayer rooms and ritual foot baths, prompting a debate on whether Islam is being given preferential treatment over other religions.
The University of Michigan at Dearborn is planning to build foot baths for Muslim students who wash their feet before prayer. An elementary school in San Diego created an extra recess period for Muslim pupils to pray.
At George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Muslim students using a “meditation space” laid out Muslim prayer rugs and separated men and women in accordance with their Islamic beliefs.
Critics see a double standard and an organized attempt to push public conformance with Islamic law.
“What (school officials) are doing … is to give Muslim students religious benefits that they do not give any other religion right now,” says Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel at the Thomas More Law Center, an advocacy group for Christians.

An Anaheim, California, public high school is facing a day in federal court after refusing to allow a Christian Bible club to meet after school.
The Esperanza High School official responsible for after-school groups told the students that their group was being denied permission to meet because their topic was not related to the school curriculum. Attorney Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) in Sacramento, is not buying that excuse.
“The school district refused to allow a Christian Bible club from being able to meet on campus [in] the same [way] as other non-curriculum related clubs,” he contends. “No student and no club should be treated like second-class citizens simply because they aspire to study the Bible and believe in Christianity.”

Yeah! Cause we all know how tolerant Muslims are in the countries they control.
