Abstract

The purpose of the present study was two-fold: Firstly, the adaptation and reliability examination of the Coaching Behavior Assessment System (CBAS; Smith, Smoll & Hunt,1977) for Greek population (Gr-CBAS) and secondly, the coaching behavior assessment of nine youth Basketball and team Handball coaches according to the instrument’s 12 feedback pattern categories. Average reliability coefficients were k=.79 for Interobserver and k=.81 for Intraobserver agreement. Mistake-Contingent Technical Instruction and General Technical Instruction were the most frequently recorded behaviors, while General Encouragement and Positive Reinforcement followed. Consistent with previous findings, results revealed that mistake correction and encouragement/ reinforcement are the most frequently recorded coaching behaviors.
