That would be, if true, at least a partial answer to the question originally raised in this thread.
I read that differently, Quik. What I *thought* Jim meant was that a good coach does a better job of altering gameplans to adjust to extreme gameplans by the opponent. I base that on VV's last comment of:

You're pretty much stuck with whatever tendencies you thought the other team was going to display.
I read Jim's response as specifically responding to VV's last few sentences, but I could be wrong. [Morgado]shurg[/Morgado]
