Lo and behold, they're suddenly forced to coach!

I have found both in coaching and officiating, that when a coach is at the end of their "coaching knowledge" the only thing left is to put the blame on the players or the officials. This is sad but true in many instances. If a coach has nothing better to do during a game than watch for a 3-second call or try to spot all the traveling calls he/she thinks we missed, then maybe they are in the wrong line of work. The art of coaching, sad to say, has been lost by many schools. All that is left is the yelling and screaming. Both in the game and at practice.
