Great question. As a former coach, I think sometimes as the kids get older, coaches
assumed they knew/have been taught the basics and they move on to intricate things.
For example when I coached 15U I would watch kids at the first practice and see how they shot foul shots, made bounce passes, chest passes, played defense, dribbled, etc. and would work with them on fundamentals. Many other coaches would immediately work on their 15 different sets of offenses and defenses and over-complicate things. You must understand the basics first.
These same coaches may not teach strategy and what to do in certain situations as they again
assume players know what to do when they yell - "FOUL HIM!" It starts at the beginning. JMO
