And this is an effective and time saving way of relaying important information to the players.

During the game the coach usually makes use of a basketball coach’s clipboard. Boards like this are used in different types of sport such as soccer, softball, volleyball and hockey etc. Coach’s clipboards are game specific, so if you ought to use it for basketball you need to buy a board used for the game basketball only. Coach’s clipboards have game field or court illustration on its front side and sometimes have a clip on the back part where papers can be clipped. It can come in different colors and sizes. There are also different types of clipboards such as magnetic, dry eraser and personalized clipboards.
