[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am always more impressed by the coaches that are watching but almost silent during games, because they trained during practice and at games they watch to see what players have learned and then use that for next practices.  But I do think a lot of parents don’t feel the same.  Many of those that are not impressed are the parents who yell “shoot!” anytime their kid has ball, whatever position their kid is playing and wherever they are on field.[/quote]

Although I understand what you are saying, I strongly disagree. I believe that there are just so many situations that happen in games that you can't reproduce in practice where the coach needs to or should provide immediate feedback. I'm not saying screaming negative comments or joysticking or never shutting up, but I do not agree with silent (or almost silent) coaching. I believe that most, if not all, games are practice too. They are learning environments just like regular practices. A coach can tell what the kids have learned during "practice" and still provide instruction during "games".[/quote]

If the only “coaching” being given during game play is past tense observation, would always rather have the coach silent during the game play and teach after v constantly yelling past tense “you should have made that shot” and “how did you miss that?!”  The yellers have heard most at kids games are past tense observers and not real time instructors.
