First year doing H.S. for me. I have tried almost everything to learn to manage the sideline. I know you have to start early in the game.
One JV game, in the first quarter, the coaches are trying to claim their territory on the PLAYER'S field. First one step on the field, then two. I look down the line and three coaches are a couple steps on the field. I look across to the other sideline and no coaches are on the field. So I say to the "get back" coach, "Look at the other sideline. Do you see any of their coaches on the field? You're guys have to get off the field!" They all move back and I'm thinking I'm a great communicator.
A few plays later, this assistant comes running up to me and says "Look over there NOW, they're ALL on the field!". That day, I learned something new NOT to say to them. LOL
