Does the 24 hour rule apply to players?

[guero_gordo]

A friend stumbled onto an interesting take ton the 24h rule. Their coach invoked the rule after the team meeting on Sunday night, and had the player call them next day.
I guess I never looked into the wording of it, but always thought the rule applied to parents and coaches, and it's a good one.
My thinking is that if coaches can talk to the players after the last game on Sunday, the player should be able to engage the coach, as long as the parents step away out of earshot.

Curious if this is commonplace, and what you think of it....

Never heard of that concerning players... Would have to know more of the situation tho. Did the player sit that game? Did the coach call her out in the team meeting? Just don't know how to answer without information.

It is a good guideline for players, coaches and parents even if it is not an official team rule.

I never understood the 24 hour rule anyways. What you are going to bench them some more?

IDK the details, but assuming either/both were true, how does that change the rule?

It doesn't, the OP was asking if it was commonplace. I haven't seen the 24 hour rule used before with players.

Whats the 24h rule?

Asking for a cool down period, 24 hours, before you go nuts.

I've seen a few parents and coaches have disagreements over the past ten years. The 24 hour rule never seemed to help. Sometimes coaches, parents, and players don't view things the same way.

It may not help with getting people to agree with each other, but it does help in the sense that someone isn't letting the emotion of the moment take over. They have time to think about the way to approach things. So instead of the coach being told, "you stupid, ignorant, bubble-headed moron," he is more likely to hear, "you made xyz mistake, you stupid, ignorant, horse's-rear."

My not sound like much, but it IS a difference

It does not apply to my players because we are talking after every game (when time allows at tournaments). It is team discussion on the Good, Bad and the Ugly. And parents are not allowed to team talks after games.
