​Cobb County Junior Basketball Zero Tolerance Policies and Procedures
*COACHES*
Coaches are selected by your programs to be leaders of our youth, The CCJBC expects our coaches to “respectfully set the example” for good behavior, sportsmanship and professional courtesy.
​
Coaches are responsible for their conduct, their players conduct and the conduct of their fans in this league. The tone for subsequent behaviors is set and should be communicated by the Coach. Insist that your players and fans demonstrate good sportsmanship toward opposing coaches, players and officials.
​
It is inevitable that you may disagree with an official’s call. Do not make your comments personal, angry or derogatory, and once you have made them, move on! Taking this behavior to the next level and outside of coaching boundaries after a first technical will elevate the likelihood of instant ejection and a $250 fine, payable within 5 business days as the coach serves the league mandated 2 game suspension. The ejected coach will be unable to return to the bench until the fine is paid to the league by the program.
​
Coaches, insist that all of your players shake hands after the game and demonstrate grace in winning and dignity in losing. Do not teach, tolerate, or allow taunting of other teams, “trash talking,” or foul language at any point. Do not get confrontational with officials.
