TOP TEN THINGS
NOT TO SAY AT A CAPTAINS' MEETING:
10) "OK, tonight we're gonna play the black line all the way around." (other nights we play the wall as OOB, but not tonight)
9) "Which of your players wear contacts?"
8) "Girls, be sure not to hang on the rim when you dunk"
7) "Your jersey color is interesting. Can we call you "Aquamarine" tonight?"
6) "Are you guys really as lousy as your record suggests?"
5) "Which of you are the 'speaking captains'?" (there ain't no such thing; there are two captains--the others are merely ceremonial and ornamental; any player may speak to you if done politely)
4) "Play defense straight up and don't be reaching in tonight." (what other coaching tips would you like to waste time giving in a pregame?)
3) "This partner of mine is new to this level of basketball; go easy on him today, okay?"
2) "I like your coach. Could you get her phone number for me?"
