Papa Williams speaks out

As someone who coached, as I am sure many of you have, I have a different perspective.
Yelling is for practice. That is when you break them down and build them up.
Come game time it needs to be all positive reinforcement as you need to build confidence for players to perform in games. Most, if not all, athletes are insecure. So in games it does little to no good to tear them down. Let that happen in practice.
So that begs the questions, what do you do in a game when someone isn’t performing? 1. Build them up and believe that they will make the next play. 2. If they continue to fail get them out of the game because now they are hurting the team and further undermining their own confidence. Sometimes sitting a player is for his/her own good because their minds aren’t right.
As an earlier poster said, coaching is about getting the most our of every player, sometimes more than the player believes he can do. And that is psychology.

IDK, but from my experiences, kids like consistency.

You can't be a drill sergeant at practice, and Mr. Rogers come game day, kids pick up on that real quick, they'll think you're a fraud.

But before you're consistent, you gotta know what TF you're talking about/competent.

Manny diaz is more of a nurturing kind, he should work at a home

Or at a puppy mill

This is it right here. Instead of the dapping just hold em accountable? How? Not putting them back out there to put you in a position to lose the game.
