3 things 90% of basketball coaches do a piss poor job of:

1) Teaching free throw shooting. It's simple as hell, but coaches don't know how to do it, don't emphasize it, & don't spend enough practice time on it. Yet are pissed when they lose because of it.

2) Teachings players to use their off hand. It's pathetic when a 6'9" guy gets his shot blocked because he can't make a lay up with his left hand. Hint: It works the same damn way as the right one guys!

3) Teaching ANY kind of offense. Watch how much time is wasted on a possession by the point guard standing 30 feet from the basket dribbling. Watch how 1-3 passes are made & the ball ends up within 3 feet of where it started. Watch how many times a team runs their "offense" & ends up taking a contested shot they could have gotten by letting that player simply go one-on-one.
