Coached hoops from 6-18 yr old , both rec and travel


In some ways coaching 7-11 year olds is the worse.
The parents are uneducated to the process of coaching, standards, rules, officiating etc.
I've seen every stripe of bad parenting at games- but it in my experience it was the saddest at the younger ages. There will be the parents (mothers) concerned about their kid getting rough up - they aren't the problem. The problem is the alpha parents that dont know squat- embarrassing their selves during and after games.
If you have a draft, to the extend possible- pick based on your knowledge of the parents first.
