COACHES INFORMATION
Coaches Code of Conduct
- Basketball is a game for happiness.
- The rules of basketball should be regarded as mutual agreements, the spirit or letter of which no one
should try to evade or break. - Opposing teams and spectators are honored guests.
- No advantages except those of superior skill should be sought.
- Officials and opponents should be treated and regarded as honest in intentions.
- Official's decisions should be accepted without looking angry, no matter how unfair they may seem.
- Winning is desirable, but winning at any cost defeats the purpose of the game.
- Losing can be a triumph when the team has given its best.
- The ideal is the greatest good to the greatest number.
- In basketball, as in life, do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.
- Coaches are not encourage to run the score up when their team is well ahead. Instead, take this
opportunity to try new lines and plays with your players.

Coaches Pre-game and Post game Instructions
Often coaches arrive at the gym prepared to coach but not-prepared for the pre-game preparations. This can
result in the game starting late especially when the volunteers are not familiar with their duties as minor officials.
Prior to arriving at the game location the following preparations will enable you, your team and the referees to
smoothly get ready for the game:
- You should arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled game time to be sure that all preliminary duties
are met (so the game can start on time). - Come with a list of your players in numerical order for every game.
- If you are the home team, fill in the score-sheet before arriving at the gym. (List all players and then at
half-time of the game note which players are absent or injured).
As a courtesy to the next team have your players clean up the bench area. Pick up beverage containers, etc.
Wipe up wet areas and then leave quickly so that the next team can begin their preparations. Hold your team
meeting outside or in a corner away from the baskets.
