[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you all think you can coach, then GET OUT THERE AND COACH!!! With all the time I put in, I've earned the right to coach the team as I see fit. And obviously it's worked because I've won a number of 8-12-year-old rec league championships.

And for those who say nobody cares because it's not in the Post--tell that to the two HIGH SCHOOL athletic directors who had me as runner-up to coach their FRESHMEN teams!!![/quote]

If you understood your role as a Rec Coach you would be telling us about the players you developed and how they later blossomed as basketball players. But no, you think winning some Rec league championship and being asked to coach 6th grade means you have some kind of "program"

Exactly what is your development curriculum that is fail safe in the competitive world of rec basketball? [/quote]

Those who can't coach, complain.

My players, the ones who are good, wind up playing key roles on high school and AAU basketball teams. They know how to win because I TAUGHT them to win. They also know how to use their teammates because I gave them the chance to do so. And they know how to be the MAN because I let them be the MAN.

The "try hards" are kids you respect for filling out your team. [b]But when you look at a bunch of 8 or 9-year-olds, you know full well which one or two kids are going to be legitimate players in high school.[/b] What you have to do is direct everyone's efforts toward being sure those kids help the high school win in 8 or 10 years. That means learning to win now and shaping the team to develop their talents.[/quote]

WOW, that could not be more wrong. All you did was spot the bigger faster 8 year old and determined who was worth your time. You have NO CLUE at 8 or 9 years old how any kid will turn out.

Stay out of coaching![/quote]
