Not an "in-game" situation but rather, after the game keep your after-game comments to the team 5 minutes or less. Even in HS, I had a designated player set a timer and when it went off, I was done. Some coaches think that they are going to change things in that talk that would take hours of practice time to change. In that "talk" start and end with positive comments.
This is a huge peeve of mine. The kids aren't listening. They don't care. Just call outsome players who made some good plays or had some good hits and go home. Wait until practice to talk about what went wrong.
