Hurst,
I agree to a point.
You are right that a HS coach doesn't develop their players, but they do put in a system and develop the system. FM plays the same way var and JV and just plugs in nex players each year. Granted, they are getting better in the offseason with club, but they know what is expected of them with their HS.
My question was more about whether or not Clover has the ability to best use what they have and find "roles" for their weaker players to be successful at. Northwestern got beat up by Clover in game 1 and Cantona made adjustment and won the second game. Can Clover do that???
Also, is Clover pushing their players to get better in the offseason?? That would be the big question. My argument is "are they placing all of their hopes on the starting 11?" What happens with an injury? Are the "non-starters" being pushed to get better or are they just "along for the ride"? If it is the latter, that is the coaches problem.
