Back in the days when I did little kids rec ball, I once worked a 10u girls game with one of those coaches. Every time the opponents had the ball, he's start yelling "that's a travel! You gotta call the travel!".
Keep in mind that this was a league that was 98% made up of players who had probably never played basketball previously... and the traveling and double-dribble rules were enforced in a fairly relaxed manner.
Told the coach to knock it off a couple of times... which worked, for about 2 trips up and down the court, before he'd start in again. Finally I turned to him and said "You want me to call every single travel, coach?" "Yes." "Ok then".
His team's next 6 possessions ended via traveling violations.
"Did I make my point, coach?" "Yes" "Ok then"
Didn't say a word to me the rest of the game.
