We gave up a ridiculous number of goals in short spans because our coach was too busy checking the ipad as opposed to prepping his next shift.
I know it sounds dumb, but it actually means a lot. After goals against players are down, its natural, get them ready to go.
Let your assistants check out the replay.
Its not even the pseudo-defeatist body language its the missed opportunity to rally your troops.

Yes this is the key. You just saw the play live. If there’s a question of interference or offside, I get it, but that’s the minority of goals. Like in football, most of the time it’s a coordinator who is instructing the head coach whether to challenge. The head coach needs to focus on preparing for the next play, and preparing his men as well.
I’m not ignorant as to why some coaches are looking down...I just think that there’s more often benefit to be found doing other things in that critical time as a head coach.
