got it. have a great day.
i havent back tracked at all. ive said it before and said it again, idk if its feld, mario, or both. you can find it on here and ask anyone whos read it bc ive said it. i will still say that the injuries under feld at UO and now here are concerning. idc if oyu want to discount that but im not back tracking ****.
You absolutely have backtracked. You started out pile-humping with other porsters over Feld, and then you only backtracked to "maybe it's Feld, maybe it's Mario, maybe it's both" after people called you out for it.
The reason I address YOU is because I know you are CAPABLE of reasonable analysis. There are other hopeless mopes who are never going to change their tiny minds about certain things.
Again, where did I "discount" anything? I've simply acknowledged that there may be OTHER factors that explain the correlation of "number of injuries" at Oregon and Miami. And those factors might NOT be as simple as "Feld sucks". Or "Mario bad". That is not "defending Mario", that is looking for the true answers, no matter what they are, without oversimplifying things to "blame the coach".
Just go back and re-read. Sometimes I joke about it ("defective Nikes"), sometimes I sarcastically point out a bad argument, sometimes I put someone on blast. I try different tactics, I don't just have one schtick.
The point I'm making is simple, even if it involves something far more complex. Maybe, just maybe, going from zero to 100 (in terms of workout intensity) is going to break a few eggs. Are there alternatives? Coaches only have these kids for a couple of years, it's kinda hard to give a kid 2 or 3 years to reverse a lifetime of relative laziness (i.e., if the kid has previously succeeded by being bigger/faster than everyone else).
Here, I'll even be nice, since you're so mad. Did you watch the first episode of the Shaq documentary? There was a part in there where Shaq talked about how his growth was problematic for his development in high school, because he wasn't completely coordinated, and he had a lot of issues to overcome. But he kept asking the coach to play, to repeat drills, he didn't want to let pain get in the way of doing what he needed to do.
A lot of kids are not that driven while they are HS-aged. Mario got here with a bunch of players who became accustomed to taking things easy under Manny. I don't know if Mario should have eased his intensity in for those guys, but those players don't exactly have a couple of years to change their lives around either.
Dig deeper for answers. Some of these questions (i.e., immediately change the physical culture/expectations or "ease it in over time") do not have easy answers, or answers that are "one-size-fits-all".
