We now have 3 books from the late, great Dick DeVenzio available in the Hoops U. Store [see below]. I highly recommend each and every one of them ... you'll learn more beyond the X's and O's from Coach DV's wisdom than anyone else!
This Basketball IQ segment comes from his book "Runnin' the Show: Basketball Leadership for Coaches and Players"
Spend 5 Percent Maximum Talking to Referees (And 95 Percent Talking to Your Players)
"I don't need to elaborate extensively on this one, but misuse of time is so prevalent that I can't help but add a few extra words. This is my pet peeve in basketball. I travel all over the nation watching high school and college basketball games and I am regularly appalled at how often coaches of teams playing poorly spend the majority of their time trying to help the referees do their job.
The misplaced focus of these coaches is truly laughable. They have a whole team full of players desperately in need of instruction, and the coaches are yelling about a touch foul or urging the refs to call a three-second violation on the other team's big man.
If you happen to have your priorities that far out of whack and you happen to be that stupid, don't show it. If you want to be a referee, then be a referee. But not when you are coaching. Spend your coaching time improving the performance of your players. Most of them need good instruction very badly.
Look at the title of this piece again. Bragging ain't a noble thing, but I am giving very good advice here -- and few coaches around the nation are heeding it."
