This is why someone who changes coaching jobs every year, or every six months has a different job doesn't look like a promising candidate for any job. On the contrary someone who shows they have worked for 2-3 years at several consecutive jobs indicates positively the opposite. Keep that in mind when you get frustrated in any job and think that job hopping for more money or because you don't get along with the boss will enhance your future on the job market. Now let me proceed briefly to the question of our second coach here. Going up to a coach prior to or following a game is probably the poorest time to introduce yourself and request a job.
Coaches work with heavy schedule and out of a certain rhythm.
This pre and post-game preparation focused on the team and it's performance, not on who he might hire in the coming year. The best time to talk with a coach is at the end of a given season when they are finished with their games and prior to the start of summer. Many successful coaches today started out by volunteering. Also consider offering to work at their basketball camps, or see if there are specific skills such as scouting, statistics, or videotaping that you can work at while gaining experience. Be polite, be persistent, and respect a coach who says he doesn't have a spot while continuing to search for a program or coach that does.
