R1C: What is the coach's primary job? Is it to be part of a team to pick the best 11-12 players, or is it to maximize the number of players that the coach puts on the all-region roster?
If you go to the bank for a loan, and you're turned down by the loan committee because one of them is sick, you think that bank is pretty poor -- that they should have processes in place to compensate. If you're an investor in a company, and an EVP gets killed in a plane crash, you still expect the company to make its numbers.
Teams and processes are put in place to build fault-capable structures that are able to handle single points of failure. I'm sure that the SCHSSCA has access to great folks who understand teams/process like you guys understand soccer; it's my humble recommendation that you guys contact someone to help in this.
