[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You better be really good if you do this. Ridicule will follow you otherwise. My daughter has been playing AAU for a long time, and the girls know which players do this.[/quote]

Girls listen to coaches. They’re not doing it for ridicule. How mean spirited of you![/quote]

If your daughter is playing for a coach that tells them to squauk like a lunatic on the inbounds. Find another coach. Why are you acting like that’s a quality skill. It’s a gimmick that gets u laughed at by serious teams. [/quote]

Exactly.  The things that really frustrate/intimidate opponents involve skill in the game.  My son had very long arms, so he used to love to poke the ball away from guys he was guarding, and also block shots - that’s demoralizing. There was a kid on their team who was an artist at stealing inbound passes —- he was very fast and had perfect timing, kind of like Jose Alvarado now. The more he did it, the more nervous the inbounders got, so the easier it was.  That’s what I’d focus on as a coach. Any moron can yell — it’s kinda like the rinkydink tactic of faking throwing the ball into the defenders face in the inbound (OP might want to tell her daughter to try that if girls keep up the yelling).
