This is true, Jason, but at the same time, I haven't seen the reasoning that the OP of this thread has presented before. I'm not sure everyone understands the depth of opportunities that the coaching position brings to the game. In the discussions, we often get caught up in the argument and do not talk about the position or the whys.

In my opinion, many teams compete on superficial levels and it takes a few competitions for the light bulb to go on and for the team to say, hm, wonder what makes the difference and why? That is why I value the conferences that are made available to teams at the Championship in Atlanta. The speakers are knowledgeable and wise and have a lot of experience in areas that can help teams move to that next level of competition. This thread could be an opportunity to explore some of that.

Just an .02
