Im on JV bball..and our coach flipped out on us a couple days ago. I dont mean just yelling..but he started hitting the bleachers behind him...quite scary. He thretened to quit.Hes frustrated because we arent doing things right..we are an ok team but we arent good.
I like him as a coach..he just has his little incidents. Is there anything i can do to make him not quit?
Sparky answered Friday December 31 2004, 5:01 pm: The first thing you should do is meet as a team with players only and talk about what is going on. Try to come up with a solution among yourselfs. If he is gettin mad because the little things are not being done right, you should ask questions about what he wants done. But the thing is its not only when you mess up, like if you see him get mad at one of the other girls be like, coach what would you like us to do when that happens or can you explain it again so i can get a better understanding. Now if that doesn't woek and he is one of those coaches that just loses it then it is a personal problem and you should go talk to the varstiy coach about the situation. The main thing is you need to try to work it out "in house" meaning within the j.v. team its self before you go to other people and what also might help is sitting down with the coach and talking about what the problem is and what you as players or him as a coach can do to help fix the situation.

He probably was just feeling stressed and got a little overly impatient! But I think the only thing you can do is just do good at practice and just let things work out themselves, because i dont think he will quit. I think it's just more personal stuff about him. Hope i've helped! [ crazybrunet09's advice column | Ask crazybrunet09 A Question ]

Why don't you talk to your coach about whats going on. And if he's tryin to quit the team, then tell him how important he is. Tell him that the team relies on him and they trust him even if he's crazy. I know this may sound weird, but if you don't want him to be a lunatic, you should talk to him. If he doesn't listen to you, you should bring your parents in this situation because if your coach is harrassing you like this, take action if you have the guts for him to stop. Your coach should also understand that the team does need a little improvement in playing, but he should also know that it's not always winning that makes a team happy. It's having fun also. Just try to make him understand ok? Good Luck! [ YoshiP162's advice column | Ask YoshiP162 A Question ]
Sherry answered Friday December 31 2004, 12:30 pm: Have a meeting with your team (wthout the coach) and tell them that we(we as in you and everyone else) need to step it up at practices so he doesnt feel like quitting. because if he quits, theirs a chance your team wont play. And dont make it seem like your the best player on the team and your attacking everyone esle. because that'll cause more probs! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
