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?

Reminds me of a TV movie I saw years ago, where the defense attorney was being blackmailed by the real bad guys. At the end of the trial, the judge said to him, "I'll have your license for this." Too bad we can't do that sometimes.
On the other hand, this may have been the result of some specific decision made by that coach. He may be hounded by the players to not be so heavy handed, so he's backing off to make a point. I doubt that, but it's at least possible.
