Coaching Behavior

I noticed something the other day while I was watching my friends sisters game. I noticed that the coach was constantly telling the girls to spread out and move the ball. Every time that he said that though the girls never understood what that statement meant they just continued to run around in circles. Then i thought of something that I saw in my research on coaching philosophy and that was that if a coach isn't consistent in his teachings the players will not listen and or retain the knowledge. Seeing this I could tell that he hadn't practiced these techniques with the girls yet. I wanted to say something but I knew it wasn't my place so when I coach a team I know what it means to reinforce teachings.
