That's not what he was saying, he's saying he would never tell a coach to shut up.

The comment on yelling was meant like this: "Coach, yell at your players, not me."

And you could care less if they are out of their box as long as they arent yelling at you, right?

Good point, T. I do "care" what the coach is yelling at his players, although 99% of the time it doesn't matter.

He doesn't get to denigrate the officials while he talks to his players. "I wasn't talking to you."

He doesn't get to use obsenity towards his players.

He doesn't get to threaten the other team by talking to his players. "Johnny, if he looks at you funny, take him out of the knees!" "Yes, Sensei."

I would say I don't care 95 percent of the time...he's not going to use a talk with his players as a back handed way to berate the officials, and I'll certainly take action for directing a player to commit an unsporting action.

I'd be a lot slower to take action about "obscenity" towards a player though.

Agreed. We've been told specifically that talking to his players is not an excuse for using obsenities; but I have yet to need to enforce this. The bar is pretty high, IMO.

Everything in PG County is "5 out" with no half court sets !!!!!!!!!!


BALLIN IN THE HOOD !!!!!!!!
What about Ty Lawson, Nolan Smith, Jeff Green, Cunningham (forgot his first name), Sam Young...I know I'm forgetting someone.

PG county, and the DC area, produces a lot of NBA players. For the record, Durant, Lawson and I'm sure some of the others mentioned didn't go to public Schools. Durant went to Maryland Christian (I think that is the official name), Oak Hill and then Montrose Christian.

Inexperienced coaches

If the individual or group that is organizing the event have their poop in a pile, things should go pretty smoothly, odd jerk-coach not withstanding.

If the event is disorganized, expect to have a coaches who believe they can behave like Bob Knight and get away with it, and players who think acting like Rasheed Wallace is appropriate. Stay as unemotional as possible, give out the T's as needed, and let the kids play the game.

I have also seen these types of games where the coaches don't have a clue; they basically just drove the van so the kids could get to the game. They will be the type that will either sit there and never say or word, or they will be the ones yelling "three seconds!" as shot after shot after shot goes up in the key.

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about a tourney I worked where if anybody received a technical, it was an automatic fine, and the player/coach was not allowed to participate until the fine was paid. Never had a problem.

Tome - Couldn't name all of them. Thanks for the additions..... Durant went to National Christian Academy as a sophomore, Patrick Ewing, Jr. was also part of that team.
