A T weekend story

In my game this coach would have been gone, I would have whacked him again for being in the coaches box. Personally I think your conversations were too long, just keep them short and simple. One of the best things you can do is give him the stop sign with your hand and tell him "that's enough." Aren't 3 games during youthball a regularity?

When I've had enough, I use the stop sign (for his benefit and everyone else in the gym) and tell him, "That's enough coach." No ultimatums. Next time is a T. It's amazing how many coaches respond postitively to the stop sign, and or T, and return to coaching. Their teams actually benefit from having the coach focus on them rather than the officials. Amazing, simply amazing.
