Ineffective Coach

Great point bell because once it's out of the mouth or they've received it, that's it... Many good person has made a goose of themself.

Skyhooked, Bravo!

There is a lot that goes into coaching and good coaches want parents to get involved. A good coach always has a long term and short term plan for each player.

Big Ads also made a very good point with practice. The coach only has them for say an hour session per week. During that time the emphasis should be on the team plays and structure. Outside of training, each player should be practicing their free throws and easy shots so that practice time is optimised.

Henry, moving to a different club where the emphasis is win at all costs (one club springs to mind !) may make you feel good, but your child may be a weaker cog in the wheel and not get much court time. Although they are on a winning team, have they really developed?

Henry, as a coach myself and I think I would speak for most, we actually don't have a huge idea if we are doing well or not.

What feedback do coaches get???

So you maybe about to teach your kid that when things don't go your way blame it on someone else??

Or, show them that your going to address the issue and that you have steps in place to work through the process.

In the meantime how about asking the coach why they do some things (that annoy you) to help you understand and have a conversation with them, without taking a us v's them approach.

Best of luck with it.

Henry,
now is the time to act. Rather than walk, work out what it is that you feel is in-effective. Considering that the season is almost over and the new age groupings occur, the summer season is the time to re-evaluate your position.
Personally, I say get behind the coach. Help them if you can and take an active role in the club. In a 2 team contest you have a 50% of winning and so if the fact that the team hasn't won 50% of games is troubling you, you're unlucky.
In life, it's not what happens to you that's important, it's how you react.
