Well, you can't please all the people all time I guess. Thanks for your kind comments Todd. Hawk_Coach has some good points. I did a particular game fresh in mind when I wrote my responses. The 6th travel team from the youth league I run was entered in a B league since it was our first year on the road. The coaches, like Hawk, had taken off the press, saged the defense and asked the kids to slow it down and not go on breakaways. Our kids won 38-0. Sorry coach, but I don't think anyone learns from that. Yes, they tried to work on set plays... but I know it's hard to slow the kids down. They are just kids, remember that. There are alot of knucklehead coaches out there who JUST DON"T GET IT. There are also some great ones who teach the not only basketball basics, but sportmanship, teamwork and other lessons to help the youngsters grow. Remember coach, you can have a great deal of influence on these kids. So keep up the good work.
