I do agree. Which goes back to my point that a great coach can do alot with less talent simply because that coach is able to find a "role" for those "rec" players. That would go back to the development arguement. I do agree that there are alot of "rec" players who, because of circumstances outside of their control, cannot play club. There are ALWAYS exceptions to the rules. I am just curious if anyone has the ability to find out how many "rec" players have been on final 8 teams?
I will say this. We often overlook great coaches who "do more with less". These are the people who are really getting kids to love the sport of soccer. And these are the people who should be highly considered for coach of the year honors.
