[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 605817, member: 265"] Yessss. I had a long standing fued with some of the other baseball coaches when I coached kid baseball. Some of them - they were mostly old ballplayers - thought the way to win was to play as many games as you could and move players to where they did best as a result. Problem = this a) shortchanged the less talented kids and b) needed a core of really good players to win. Further problem = that discouraged the other kids ,who went through the motions, but never played to their potential. I, oth, was a great believer in practice. Specialized practice where the kids had to develop particular skills; I didn't let anybody off the hook, even my son, who was usually the best player I had. We played scrimmage games when we could, but I warned the opposing coaches that I would stop the whole business and explain why a play had screwed up (never the kid). About 1/3rd of the other coaches - including the one former pro in the park - agreed with me. Our practices looked a lot more regimented then the "play games" crowd. Well, the bottom line was that both approaches worked and there's no reason to believe the same applies in football. But I liked mine - it was like Paul's - better. [/QUOTE]
