How involved should you become

[Fifth And Goal]

I concur with Mick. I often have to remind coaches to coach, and let me do the officiating. Seems like a double-standard to intervene at this point.

The rec league that I work for has a local rule that doesn't allow backcourt pressure after a 15-point lead. After a 25 point lead, we set the scoreboard to zeros on both sides (but we still keep the running score in the book).

Our league uses 6-minute quarters with stop clocks and no shot clock. I've often wondered why coaches continue to let their kids throw baseball outlet passes and jack threes with a 20 point lead. It seems to me that if there's no shot clock, the more time you can run off, the better your chances for victory.

Oh well. I've never coached before, so I should probably keep my mouth shut.
