Timid.....
I did a HS age G AAU tournament a few years ago with a coach who was just nuts! A real screamer! A "large man" (being kind), coaching a team from Baltimore....and they just weren't getting it.
"RUN THE PLAY!" "SET IT UP" "C'MON, THAT'S NOT WHAT I TAUGHT YOU!" "IS THAT THE WAY WE DO IT IN PRACTICE?" "RUN THE PLAY!!"
"Ref, give me a TO." "You got it coach."
"RUN THE PLAY!" "RUN THE PLAYS!" "WILL YOU PLEASE RUN THE PLAYS!" Just a yellin.
As I blew the whistle to bring the teams back from their huddles, I said to two team parents sitting at the inbound location, "So, you think they'll run the play?" One said, "We hope so!"
Ball in.
Well it appears they ran the play as it looked like something drawn up...... result, ten foot shot - AIR BALL.
As the other team got the rebound and headed the other way, I heard him yell, "Thank you!"
They won going away......
Worst screamer I ever had. But, that's the parent's problem as far as I'm concerned. As long as he's not being vulgar, swearing, etc. I just try and let it go.
