Coach's - don't they make our life interesting?

Would you agree that 40% of stuff on this board involves working, handling, dealing with coach's?

Last night, 9th Grade Boys. New experience went like this: A real deadhead coach. From 0-0 to the end, a blowout.

Team was repeatedly making (IMHO) simple correctable mistakes. Throwing into double teams, not coming to a trapped player, standing around, slapping at rebounds, no organized defense, etc.

The coach just sat there and looked asleep. Never substituted, no timeouts, no encouragement, reminders - never made a peep.

Glanced over once and he was just casually chatting with bench players.

Wow. It really took AWAY from the games experience, for me, partner, fans and most importantly his players.

Next time you deal with a howler .... think of working with a corpse.

Thoughts?
