Legal Guarding Position on sideline

[footlocker]

Rainmaker, I agree and that was my point. Like I said, I make my sister aware of the rules. But you must understand that my point is to be careful of how you choose to use certain knowledge.

I appreciate knowledgeable coaches. If a coach chooses to use his knowledge by being ostentatious and challenging my judgment, then I will have a problem. In order to aid my sister best, I don’t go into every fine point of rules clarification. There is a cost-benefit to going over certain rules vs. using the time to be more productive. As I said, I’d rather have her shoot free throws than go over this rule. That is my decision for her.

However, I concede that this coach may have a particular trapping defense where an understanding of this rule may be more helpful for him than most. Like I said, I’m not sure how much this will help him.

But you are 100% right. Knowing the rules inside out would be a great advantage to EACH and EVERY coach.
