No one deliberately asks a stupid question - maybe it sounds that way to us, but try a bit of patience and being helpful may help break down some of the barriers....just a thought.

My response to his question was appropriate to the manner in which he asked
You are correct the coach may have been a little frustrated; his team was losing by a large margin. But he was asking me about a very common play in basketball, one that I seen 7th & 8th graders execute to perfection, like he had never seen it before until that game. When a player on your bench has to explain this to you maybe you should try a little harder to learn about the sport you are coaching.
