[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 362505, member: 2957"] We were talking about the use of maxims and a "theory of the game" that is common to most coaches of a particular coaching pedigree. Stallings, for example, learned how to coach from Bear Bryant and learned how to prepare from Tom Landry. Landry, you see, was an engineer ... and developed and prepared his teams in a very specific way. Stallings once said that if you go into anyone who ever coached for Landry (as he had), you'll see the same approach. Dodd always argued to go for a TD rather than settle for a field goal. He felt the percentages favored bold, rather than conservative play. Frank Broyles and Ray Graves voiced similar approaches. Dodd, Neyland and Bryant believed strongly that defense wins games. Their style of play was such that they emphasized forcing opponents into making a mistake that could be capitalized upon. Bryant once said in his opinion, "that" was the game of football. Neyland, Dodd, and yes ... Bryant ... summarized their approaches so player's could understand them and play the system they were being taught. Getting the team together for volleyball is part of it . But it's ancillary to my main point. People learn complex systems through repetition of simple keys. [/QUOTE]
