Wow, I didn't know that coaches now also have a doctorate degree- he is pretty versatile isn't he/she. I work for a orthopedic surgeon and I have never heard of such a thing. Go to your doctor and see what it really is. Sounds like it could be a possible torn muscle or torn ligament to me but I haven't done a physical exam to know for sure. Don't take medical advise from a coach please.

It's called Osgood-Schlatter Lesion or Disorder.
Osgood-Schlatter is not a disease but rather a group of symptoms involving the tibial tubercle epiphysis. The tibial tubercle is a small bump on the tibia (shin bone) where the patellar tendon of the quadriceps muscle attaches. This condition is a result of traction. The tibial tubercle is a growth center (apophysis or epiphysis) located just below the knee joint on the front of the tibia. This conditions will most likely affect males of 12 to 16 and females of 10 to 14 years of age...
To control inflammation after activities, ice should be applied to the affected knees daily. This should be done every day, even those without pain. The ice will control the swelling associated with activities and control pain on a daily basis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications will also help to control these symptoms.
Effective medications are Advil® and Aleve®. These medications should be taken in accordance with package or personal physician's instructions. If these medications are taken only when the knee(s) hurt, they will function as pain relievers. If taken daily for two or more weeks they will assist in controlling inflammation. Do not take these medications daily for more than four weeks continuously. Doing so can lead to the stomach upset.

Tell your coach nice guess. He is clueless here.
The long bones of your leg grow faster then the muscles stretch during a growth spurt. Stretch the sore muscles but dont overdue it. Ice is your friend for pain after the stretching.
Commonly known as growing pains. Doctor should rule out more serious stuff though. Like Osteosarcoma, etc.....
Osgood is something completely different and would be pain distal to the patella on the tibial tuberosity which is the bump on your leg about 3 inches below the knee cap.
