Additional consideration
A good friend of mine coaches a 7th grade girls team. They can only get two 90 minute practices per week scheduled for their gym and they have lost several of those allotments to various other school functions. It is unreasonable to think he can legitimately cover all the nuances of the rules and teach all the fundamentals that some officials are insisting should not be "coached" on the court.
I am NOT a believer of conducting coaching clinics, but brief hints and explanations as needed are a necessity at this level.
