This past weekend i was assigned the AAA Major Bantom Boys (gr 8) gold medal game. In the finals were the tournament hosts, and a team from Chicago, the Blackout. The coach for the blackout had to be the most positive coach ever, every call was a good call, he didn't complain about 3 in the key or for a travel we missed. It was all positive. If there was a foul called, and his players disputed it, he would tell them to get in a better posistion next time.
When I called a travel on his team, one of his players started to dispute, but the coach quickly cut him off saying that life is full of adversity and and that you must learn to deal with it.
If he didn't understand a call or a rule, he'd ask nicely, and he'd be given an explanation.
All in all, I think that this guy is a great example of all the qualities a coach should have. All coaches should be like this guy.
That's my two cents.
