k for one i put idiots in quotes being someone else called their coach an idiot. i was simply saying talent is more important then coachin in baseball more hten it is in other sports. lets flip flop coaches from Steele and Medina for this year year. Steele would still be going to state and Medina wouldnt. Why? Steele has baseball players and Medina doesn't.....maybe when there 7th graders are seniors and have 7 years of experiance they might make it.
When that person complained his caoch was an "idiot" (in quotes once again), i was simply saying it was the players fault not the coaches. is it the caoches fault he hits a ground ball to 2nd base to end the game or the players? is it the coaches fault the right fielder misjudges a fly ball and 2 runs score? and as for coaches who give in time and effort, im sure that happens alot, but i also know coaches who pitch batting practice to maybe 2 players then either go sit ont he bench the rest of practice or stand in the outfield while the players throw BP to each other
And as for a team being "outcoached" in a big game, i dont 100% believe in that. Sure a coach can call a bunt, but can he put the ball in play or does the player at bat have to do that for himself. read the last sentence in my post again....sure its important to have a coach but in the clutch the talent comes through over good coaching[color=black][size=2]......players do more then coaching do in the game of baseball. a coach puts 9 guys on the field, tells them where to play, adn tells them who bats after who.[/size][/color]
in basketball with a tie game, the coach can call a timeout with 10 seconds left to draw up a double back pick for an easy layup. in the 7th inning can can a coach call time and tell the batter to hit the ball to the right center field gap so the guy on first can score?? sure the basketball play wont work every time but it will have a much much higher success rate then the baseball timeout. more factors go into every pitch in baseball then every pass in basketball, or every snap in football.
Baseball,
That is a mighty political answer consciously or subconsciously designed to avoid the question. More than likely you have spent time at NDSU along with most of North Dakota's most celebrated bs'ers.
After an analysis of your most astute response, I will reply by asking the same question without the comparison of two highly distinct programs.
Who are the poor coaches you believe to exist. Obviously by your post Steele must have a poor coach if his players could win other any other coach.
I must go further with this by simply stating (simple is something you may or may not understand considering your vast experience)
Coaching is simply put "Putting your kids in a position to succeed rather than a position to fail. If in ANY sport you as coach teach basic fundamentals and command the discipline of them you will succeed."
Stating that just any coach can coach a team full of athletes and get them to perform is not only stupid is unrealistic. If by your alternative reality judgement this were true then Dr. Ruth could have coached Thompson to a title two years ago. In reality those kids were once freshmen under Coach Brantl and he developed them into winners.
I even think Dr. Ruth would agree that you should do everyone on this site a favor and just shut the blank up and go away and hide.
