[quote=Anonymous][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]

This.  100%. Coaching during a game is critical, especially given that most teams never get to practice 11v11 full field.  [/quote]

You do realize that there aren't just two extremes?
It's not either joysticking/constant yelling or nothing at all. Sheesh

As a Coach, you control the training environment to create the right conditions to teach certain elements of the game. 
You can't do that in a real game.

Game is about strategy and tactics. Lessons to be learnt are addressed in training.
