Actually, I should probably modify this statement. The team that I wrote (typed??) about above is a team with some talent and a coach who appears to know the game, but hasn't been very successful in transferring that knowledge.
I have a team in my league where the coach is absolutely clueless. The only thing I get from him is questions. He is trying to coach his girls by learning (in a limited fashion - he has a book, but I doubt that he has opened it) the rules. It isn't working very well - he needs to go watch some quality games somewhere.
I was almost in stitches the other night with this coach - his team on the field, runners on 2nd and 3rd. Batter draws a walk. Runner from 3rd slowly trots to home as everyone watches. Finally when she is about 3 feet from the plate, he asks me "What is SHE doing??" As she steps on the plate, I turn to him and reply "Stealing home." Coach to himself, then to his team - "Oh my God. GIRLS, COME ON GIRLS!! PAY ATTENTION!!"
