UTTLEY: Why coaches yell at their athletes or make comments that make little or no sense?

“More effort”, “run faster, hit harder”, “watch for the draw, draw screen”, and so on and so on. How many times have I heard these phrases from young, old, veteran, pro, and college coaches? How many times have you heard yourself pass along a generic coaching point that has zero value with regard to correcting or putting the player in the best position to succeed.
