You will find that coaches are worst at the lowest levels precisely because they don't know very much about the game, how it should be played or how it should be called. This doesn't mean that all grade school level coaches are bad, but you see a lot of ugly at that level.

I know I have disagreed with Hawks Coach more than once, but he is absolutely, positively, correct on this point. The coaching gets better as you go up. In my experience, not until the JV level though. The JV coach is usually a V assistant so he/she gets "mentored" somewhat.
