Coach2709 you make some great points. As I have gotten old and crusty I have really called into question how much you want any player to 'lead'. I have come to the conclusion the coach needs to be the only true leader. Now I know occasionally there is that special player. I have had a few. Who you trust to lead. But for the most part it should be the coach. Purely an opinion of course. Not sure how any of us could prove what's best. When an error is made my preference is to say nothing. Move on. Talk about the CURRENT situation. I also don't want to see a theatrical act from the kid making the error. That will get a kid out of a game for me. The 'I am going to show everybody how mad I am at myself' routine. Huge, huge trigger for me. Even if you aren't a pro act like one!
