  * What                you (the coach) are trying to accomplish
 * Avoid        “[[joystick coaching|JoyStick]]” Coaching
  * NO          (shoot, pass, dribble)
  * Provide             a decision for them, instead of demanding them to do what you want.
   * Refer                      to LYS Verbiage Doc.
   * (man                       on, shoulder, rondo, etc.)
 * ALWAYS       thank the opposing coach and Refs post game
  * Some                games are very tough for a coach, but WE (coaches) have to be the               best role model possible
 * Have         a huddle after the game to go over the game and tell the kids how       awesome they are!
