Greeting the Coach

[Ron Pilo]

I don't really need to justify what I say or why I say it to a head coach.......Sometimes I'll tell the assistant coaches your job is to keep the head coach in the box. Of course always with a smile on my face..........I always handle my little meeting in a positive none advisarial way.
Beside if I show them where the lines are many times they are more concerned about being in the box then yelling at us...


One time in a state tournament I knew we had a coach that was very vocal (had watched him for a couple of days) I told him in our little meeting that I was hard of hearing and if he was yelling at us I probably wouldn't hear him and told him if he wanted a T/O he needed to be very visible........Didn't hear a peep out of him the entire game...........So was I wrong...........Don't think so.
