Ty Lawson -- My Dad Never Confronted Coaches ... 'Cause I Didn't Suck

NBA star Ty Lawson says that his parents never had to pull a P. Diddy on one of his coaches ... telling TMZ Sports his folks had nothing to be mad about ... 'cause he was too much of a stud.

Lawson was out in L.A. this weekend when we asked if he'd ever witnessed any tense moments between his parents and coaches ... like the Diddy/Alosi run in at UCLA from a week ago.

Check out the clip -- Lawson says that there's one thing that stopped his parents from ever needing to make a trip into the coaches office ... the fact he was the best player on every team he's played for.
