1. What does your bench look like during games?
How to Answer
Every coach has a different style for how they want their bench to be- some coaches require that everyone is standing during games, others have all their players sit down, as a coach just know your style and be ready to back up your reasoning to the interviewer.
There is no right or wrong way to answer this question, it is about preference.

1st Answer Example
"I want my players to be ready to get in the game, so I have all my players stand up so their bodies are awake. This also helps for when my middles are subbing in and out for the librero; in the past I had players that would forget when they were switching in and would stay on the bench, once I had them stand up they were more focused in the game."

2nd Answer Example
"For example: "I let my players choose whether or not they are going to sit or stand when they are off the court. My only major rule related to bench time is to make sure you are focused and cheering for your teammates."
