Agreed. No zone either.

No zone defense is hard because you want kids to learn help defense,

Yep. Every league I’ve been in has similar rules, but not the same rules.

If you can see through this, then you need to coach. It's why I coach. One less

My dad was this type so much so that all of his sons refuse to coach.

Zach Morris

2/16/20 3:47pm

Amen to this. I'm the same way. I coach because I don't need clowns coaching.

TheWoodman

My Jr Jazz team is 2-6 because I refuse to give the ball to my best player

How old the kids playing bball? I've never seen a league where kids can press.

ordinary tri guy

2/16/20 3:47pm

5th grade b-ball so 10-11 yr olds. And yes the league like so many other sports leagues

Wingnut

For the record, I don’t begrudge any dad for wanting to coach.

They also become a pain in in the butt when I get to deal with them in HS.

More than anything, I just find it funny and expected when things like this happen.
