Are coaches born like this?
 

Here's a short video showing coaches acting like coaches.

“It’s 9-3?”

WHACK! “No, now it’s 10-3.”

BTW, we have posted this a few times here. I have used the videos several times in my presentations. :)

Stripes: "He can bobble it all the way down the court. Gotta have possession."
Coach: "He's gotta have possession? I've never heard that before."

Subconscious: "You would if you'd read the rule book."
Me: "Rule 4, Coach."

At 13 seconds in, the coach does have a point. I try to avoid "coaching" the players just for this reason.

At 2:00 "WHACK!"

Coach, "I didn't even curse!"

LOL!!!!

More accurately worded... "Gotta be holding the ball [to travel]", not just have possession. There is one exception, but this isn't it.

In many of these clips, referees were responding to statements and not to questions......WALK AWAY !!!!!

We are our own worst enemies at times.

I have T's @ 1:05, 1:57, and 2:15. @ 2:15 the coach says he was already T'd up.
Why is he standing AND complaining?!

Are you really telling a coach all of that? Why?

Peace

Yeah, that used to work, not so much anymore. You better respond to some statements or you will have a horrible night, if for no other reason to address situations so they do not continue.

You're calling a tech at 1:57 for real?

Obviously these are in a vacuum but I am likely to have techs at 0:36, 1:09, 1:21, 1:29, 1:34.

2:00 sounds like he was about to get into tech territory for me, should have let the coach talk a little longer and hang himself.

There are some hilarious ones in there. :D

Of those, I only have T for 1:05. I would even think of a T for the other 2.

Of those, 1:09, maybe 1:21 depending on circumstances, & 1:34.

But, on some, there are two possibilities of plays since the clips a re short and the times are close to two possible situations.

Some, I'm just ignoring the coach. Only if it were extended or repetitive would many of those get my attention.

I think he meant he would only tell the coach the part that was in quotes, i.e. "Gotta be holding the ball [to travel]"

Amen.

"Respond to questions, not statements" is another example of overused camp speak that in reality is not going to be successful for most people as a universal guideline.
