Educating New Coaches

[Dad]

It's more useful to teach coaches to adapt to reffing styles to use them as an advantage. Especially at lower levels where official's consistency is almost non-existent. Teaching them a rule here and there is probably going to just get them a technical - hah.

I would tell them to purchase the rulebooks every year, and they need to view or attend the state clinic.

Backcourt or no...make sure they know 3 points (both feet and ball) must acheive FC status before a BC violation.

I hear a lot of coaches like this calling for it during a press where the kid picks up dribble at half court with one foot and ball in FC and one foot still in BC as their pivot and then pivot back into the BC to make a pass.

And make sure they know it ONLY applies on a dribble from BC to FC.
