[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1000603, member: 4110"] What he said was, coaching is manipulation. He used a term, 'manipulation,' that has negative connotations. If had said, "coaching is inspiration," that would have carried a more positive connotation. But even inspiration is, technically, a form of manipulation. I think people need to get beyond the expectation that everyone around then is obligated to give them the warm fuzzies with every utterance they make. It is a ridiculous expectation and harmful. I think it is more enriching for us to reward our experts for sharing an honest appraisal of what they perceive. It dumbs us all down when we constrain those experts and insiders into only giving us the vacuous "Disney" version of reality. We don't have to agree with them but we can show our respect and admiration for them trying to communicate with us in a genuinely insightful manner. People hammering on Stoudamire for sharing with us exactly what is in his mind is a legitimate symptom of larger societal issues. [/QUOTE]
