…coaches might be a little lacking in the mid-game adjustments, X’s and O’s, strategic thinking, chess master dept. I think they’re very good strategically from a macro level on figuring out how the team works best and adapting to those strengths and they’re really good at a micro level working with individual players to help them develop but somewhere in between is in-game decision making and chess mastery.

I know in my own coaching style that’s where I struggle most and so I like to (if possible) pair up with another coach who is good at recognizing in the moment what is changing and how to stay ahead of it or at least keep pace.

As for BYU being special, I think if we reach that level we will need coaches to maybe get stronger with their in-game decision making/chessmanship. If not that will be something that holds us back from being truly special (ie making a deep run in the NCAA tourney).
