Youth league should never run a press

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

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

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

Wingnut

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