What worries me is that how “close” we are is things the staff is doing wrong. I could make an argument that we could have won 2-3 other games the past two years without head scratching game management decisions (clock management, blown timeouts, decisions to go/not go). Even if we turn the corner those situations will always be there and will often be the difference between a win and a loss. I haven’t seen anything to make me think these types of issues are going to get better.
Now that (game management) is a specific skill that, imo, could be easily acquired to offset a staff deficiency. Game management should and could be delegated if that is identified as a barrier to success. The object is to win the game. How you arrange coaching duties/responsibilities is only a means to an end. Honestly I do not know how the good ones can do that (think under those kinds of 30 second time constraints) but, on the other hand, I haven't made it my life's work either.
