That is definitely a good point(Gordon's), the last thing a coach wants to hear is what the officials are going to pay close attention to. I always hated it as a coach to be told at a pregame meeting that the officials were going to watch for this or that.....and then during the game the exact opposite happens. It made my blood boil. We just get done telling our players to not hand check or whatever it might be, and then all of the sudden the other team is doing that exact thing that the officials were going to watch for, and not getting called for it, and our players are looking at us strangely confused....It is bad for communication all around. As a coach you need to teach your players to set proper legal screens, period. That is your job as a coach. It is not your job to tell the official how to call your particular game. You coach your players, let the officials call the game, and let the chips fall where they may.
