Quote: Lack of coaching: Can you say win at all costs. What happened to individual player development?? Players not good enough - just recruit another!!
Reccos, that's spot on.
I've seen it many times. New coach comes to a team and at try outs he selects starting 11 from previous season but doesn't consider the other former players "because they didn't work hard enough to be a starter..."??? He doesn't even look at them. Instead he picks entirely new players to fill out the roster. My thought is coach should have actually watched them, even compare them to his new prospects. But no, that would actually require an effort. It's obvious when they segregate the 11 from the rest and put them on separate fields for tryouts that the coach has made up his mind who he won't select.
To me it implies the coach isn't good enough to develop players and can't really evaluate a players talents. Easier to just pick up new players and watch them wash out the next year because the coach can't develop players.
