1) Sloppy fat coaches telling kids they need to be in better shape
2) Coaches telling kids to change out of a hoodie under their pads in cold weather because it’s “soft” while wearing a full body sweatsuit themselves
That is all

Speaking of hypocrisy here, word for word, is something that I heard a coach yell at players: "You phukin guys stop that G--dam cursing. That chit pi$$es me off".

Coaching with a lack of common sense drives me nuts. As an AD, I had a volleyball coach who would tally up the number of poor serves and make the girls run sprints for each one. The kids were running sprints for 20+ minutes at the beginning of practices following games. They could easily spend 40-50 minutes per week being punished for not being competent at a skill. We had a conversation that went nowhere ("Serving is easy, they need the running to learn to focus.") and it took a formal write-up to get her to actually rep friggin' serving.. Funny thing: we became a better serving team after the write-up.

Coaches putting up videos on twitter of bad officiating or "dirty" players from the opposing team. Handle that with the officials association or the opposing coach; not the world of social media.

I definitely get annoyed at the coaches who don't come to the office for a practice plan and are then just doing whatever is going on for the whole practice

Yeah... Hence the common sense portion... I also pretty much banned the "Heaven Or Hell" free throw drill for basketball at that school... Twenty kids standing one the baseline while one shoots a free throw. They miss and everyone runs. The make it, another player shoots a free throw and you still have twenty players standing around. Good Lord, just practice the free throws... I don't care about the "simulated pressure" when our free throw percentage is garbage.

Funny thing: we became a better serving team after the write-up. In a similar vein, coaches on one side of the ball: being dogmatic and/or either overestimating/exaggerating or underestimating/underselling the importance/difficulty/easiness/effectiveness of something That coaches on the other side of the ball can clearly see I get it, we are all human, we all misjudge/miscalcuate/miss stuff, but some people seem so hellbent on something I can't tell you how many times I am sitting there watching videos, listening to podcasts, of even good, quality, excellent coaches and I'm sitting there rolling my eyes saying "Stop, no it's not/yes it is." Another related one is coaches, same side of ball or not, attacking a strawman of a concept/play/technique, and it's like coach I agree, but that's not what they actually run. The best example I can think of the this is the various criticisms I have seen levied against Mesh by various other offensive minds/"gurus" outside of the Air Raid, and it's like dude I agree, but that's not how they run Mesh (and it's usually not the practice time commitment, but supposed structural issues). I think a lot of these folks who levy these criticisms would actually find the Air Raid Mesh quite agreeable if they actually were addressing how it's ran. I'm not the biggest fan of Mesh, but it drives me nuts. Lol |

Have not had a football player do this, but I had this thought just this morning: if I get called "bro" by one of my freshmen students one more time, I'll absolutely lose my chit... I have three classroom rules I introduce the start of the year, in addition to school rules. Rule #2 is that my name is "Mr. (my last name)" or "Coach (my last name)". Not Bro, or dude, or anything like that. I add on that once you graduate from High School, when you get that diploma in your hand, you can call me whatever you want, until then its Mr. (my last name)" or "Coach (my last name). The fun part is when kids get that diploma, and while walking across the stage are eager to call me by my first name or bro- to finally do it. But I don't put up with anyone calling me bro that isn't a good friend of mine. I'll yell at the workers at Dutch Bros. Coffee when they try to pull that nonsense. |

This was the staff at previous school I worked at (which I loved), we "majored in the minors" big time. Earrings, haircuts, you name it. My favorite was how we didn't allow facial hair (I know, I know...not my rule), while I was one of the only 2 coaches on staff that were clean shaven... |

I can't stand the whole varsity kids throwing a ball around randomly pre game, during the game and at halftime during JV games thing. My son's team allows this and it drives me crazy. When the kid is too "injured" to play that really sends me into a rage.

For me, it's coaches who are overly focused on punishment and discipline.
I started coaching at my own high school under a "fire and brimstone" program where time was spent every practice punishing players for something. One thing in particular was players not paying attention when they weren't in...they were expected to basically stand at attention, eyes front, and silent when they weren't in. The coach would hear so much as a peep of a player talking behind them, and that player or the whole team would be doing down-ups. The first conditioner each week was doing sprints equal to the number of points we gave up. Down-ups for every swear word (while coaches, me included, hypocritically swore back). Overall, our success was very middle-of-the-road to bad.
That staff left and a new staff comes in (I'm one of three assistants who remain). New staff turns out to be the best staff and best run the program ever had. They didn't care at all or spent a second on what happened with kids who weren't currently in...the result was if the kids didn't pay attention, they didn't know their stuff, and they didn't play. The problem just resolved itself without any down-ups or sprints. We conditioned only when the coaches felt they didn't get enough conditioning through the regular practice through drills and reps. Didn't care at all what the kids said either. If their language was out of hand, the staff just ignored the kid.
Man, was my world flipped in a hurry when that new staff came in. I cringe thinking about how I coached those first couple seasons with the old staff, but I didn't know any other way at the time.

Gassers, half-gassers, or any variation.
I know I am over-simplifying, but nothing screams "football shape" like running over 200 yards at a time. And then coaches wonder why there are so many shin splints and soft tissue injuries.
