Inexperienced coaches
If the individual or group that is organizing the event have their poop in a pile, things should go pretty smoothly, odd jerk-coach not withstanding.
If the event is disorganized, expect to have a coaches who believe they can behave like Bob Knight and get away with it, and players who think acting like Rasheed Wallace is appropriate. Stay as unemotional as possible, give out the T's as needed, and let the kids play the game.
I have also seen these types of games where the coaches don't have a clue; they basically just drove the van so the kids could get to the game. They will be the type that will either sit there and never say or word, or they will be the ones yelling "three seconds!" as shot after shot after shot goes up in the key.
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about a tourney I worked where if anybody received a technical, it was an automatic fine, and the player/coach was not allowed to participate until the fine was paid. Never had a problem.
