COACHING NEWS
Former Burnsville coach Andy Meinhardt has been named the head girls basketball coach at Bloomington Jefferson where he is also a physical education teacher. He will continue to direct the Minnesota Metro Stars AAU basketball program. At Burnsville his record was 68-64 in five years.

THE PET PEEVES OF COACH TEAS
Today, and on the following Mondays, I will be releasing a few of Coach Teas' peeves. Coach Teas attends many of the HS and AAU games with me.
The list (so far) is 13 long. I will be reversing the order a la David Letterman's top 10 list. Again this is the top 13. Today 13-10

#13 Coaches complaining about officiating----sends all kinds of bad messages and your kids pick up on it.

#12 Use a ball fake to move defense when passing----do not be so predictable and advertise your choice.

#11 Grabbing the ball going out of bounds when you are sure it is yours. Blind saves are not good-----you don't know where the opponent is.

#10 Doing flashy things when the simple move is safer AND more effective. It is all about doing things that increase your chance of scoring.

Next week Coach Teas will list #9-#7
