Leave the team. Tell him you don't feel like playing this year, change sport, whatever... That will most likely get him off the team and will leave your mind at ease.

Simple but hard to do Fire him or keep losing, You will never win with a team that does not know the fundamentals of the game, Just take a look at the NBA now that is the biggest reason we have so many players from other countries that can shoot, pass the ball better and play team ball, To many American H,S, players have grew up doing nothing but dunk the ball. When you see Labron James play you know his H,S, coach taught him the fundamentals of the game. Until American kids get back to learning the game it will not change. One day we will need to know several different languages to name the NBA players.

When I was a kid playing ball, I loved the game. But now that I older, I love my father more. And if I was smarter then, I would have realized that I loved him more then too. Try not to ever chose anything over your father. Especially since you two just got over something. Unless you are NBA bound, you will probably need you father more in life than you will need basketball. Use basketball as a refuge when you are having problems to get "away" from things for a short time, use you dad when you need somebody, when you need help. Dads can be awesome. I have a great dad, and I'm a dad now, and would do anything for my kids. Do whatever you can to strenghten you relationship right now. You will be glad you did.

Ask if you can be an assistant coach, or if you could coach either offence or defence instead of him.
That could be double bonding, not only do you get to play on his team, but you also get to coach with him.
Also that way you could beef up defence or offence and teach some new skills. There are lots of websites with drill that teach fundamentals but still make it look like a game.
You could also ask your dad if you could run one practise a week, or if you could help your team prepare a warm up routine. That way with a warm up routine you can sneak some of the fundamentals in.
Good luck from another coach.

Well, there are 3 possibilities:
1. You don't say anything...
2. You could tell him that maybe he isn't a good coach and should let someone else do it...do that with respect and sensitivity, it would be best not to blatantly tell him that.
3. You could give him advice. Tell him to teach the fundamentals, or whatever you need work on.
Well, that's all I've got...hope it helps.

Just tell him, and don't take it too hard when he yells at you. If you're right, he'll eventually realize it.
