Too much coaching from sidelines

Readers' forum letters

Watching the Mariners game on October 29 reminded me of a very junior game at Davidson Oval at a very shivery 8am.

The coach yelled at a youngster who stopped, looked at adult, looked at ball which then sailed past him.

The Mariners coach spent the first half yelling at players, gesticulating and animatedly speaking to his assistants.

The coach was relatively quiet during the second half: was he hoarse?

Don’t get me wrong, coaches will always have to communicate with players during games but a very senior coach surely should do most of his/her “work” leading up to a game.

Go Mariners!
