[mudcat]

Really interesting article about the hazzards of yelling. Found Elliot's statement about the difference between being a head coach and and assistant interesting.

Compared with opera singers, I'll bet coaches are horse whisperers.

Does Geno yell? Hmm, shouldn't the question be more along the lines of "How loud," and "How often?"

Geno is Italian... of course he yells. That is an absurd question. We are passionate people.... We get excited...

Jamelle yells a lot... Geno doesn't, he coaches during free throws or when action is at his end of the court. The Italian thing is silly, every nationality yells. no group should be stereotyped

Professional vocalists (opera singers, actors, town criers, street merchants, carnie barkers, etc.) can produce extraordinary volume without necessarily straining their vocal cords - it is a different process than screaming or yelling which tends to involve a lot of tension and not very good acoustical production. I suspect coaches would benefit from some vocal coaching.

Please tell Ek that Geno doesn't yell.

But waving hands & arms doesn't take a toll on your vocal cords!
