Checking into and coming out of a game, it's a simple thing, sometimes. Players checking in and out, moreover how they do it, can have a very big effect on your team in a number of ways. Having, teaching, and enforcing a set routine on subsitutions can have a very positive effect on your team. Below are some negative situations and how you can change them to be positive impacts on your team.
Situation 1:
Player A checks in for player B, player A runs in, points at B who runs off. On the next defensive posession the player that A was guarding (who B should have been guarding) takes the ball and dribbles in for a layup because player B forgot to ask player A who he was guarding.
Solution 1:
It's a simple thing, but teach and drill your players on communicating with the player they are going in for to find out any offensive/defensive assignments. What I prefer is giving player A a water bottle, towel, or something else and having him hand it to player B. Player A cannot let go of the towel/bottle until he tells player B what his assignments were. If player B does not know what he is doing, player A is held accountable. Also makes players aware of who is coming in for who. Simple but can be effective.
Situation 2:
Player A checks in for player B. Player B is mad that he got taken out and stomps to the end of the bench where he proceeds to pout.
Solution 2:
If you haven't taught and drilled this as unacceptable behavior, it's harder to enforce it as such. The routine I like is having any player that gets taken out have a seat on the bench next to the head coach. No matter what, players that come out are required to sit in that seat - and are not allowed to move until directed by the coach - they then slide down one seat. This takes care of a lot of the end of the bench tirades and pouting that takes place on so many basketball courts. It also gives you, as the coach (or your assistant) a chance to calm them down and refocus them. If they do not come to thier assigned seat, then can be more effectively disciplined I feel.
So there are the two routines I teach and they are things I feel are worth taking the time to teach. Have others? Help me out and pass them along!

Hi
It's coming from my insider source and it's all a little hazy still but...
Apparently there's a secret sports picks software making amazingly
precise predictions since 1999.
...used only by top underground group of insiders called Vegas punters.
...grabbing data via spiders from all the bookies on the net in
seconds, crunching numbers and spitting out awesome predictions with
80% accuracy and higher.
Here's a video I was able to obtain... thought I'd share it with you :)
===> Sports picks directly from the insiders? <=====
Those seem to be REAL predictions identified by the software, and the
percentage next to the play is the gain you make when you make the
bet!
I could not believe it's possible. I thought it might be a bug, but
word on the street is that it's real.
If it is, then we might be in for a real treat! I'll stay on the case
and let you know more as soon as I speak with the developers!
In the meanwhile, check out this crazy video:
===> How is it possible? 80% accuracy? <=====
P.S. Those picks are real, verified data since 1999.
