This is spot on. Sometimes parents hear this and think coaches are saying you don't know what to do. No, this is simply that parents don't always know what the coach has been working on in practice. They might want ball movement, not the first shot that is available. That is why coaching from the stands is counter-productive. It often undermines the coach.

This is great and 100% agree, though the very last statement dilutes the strength of the message

A polite way to say if you can't just cheer, then shut the heck up.
