In response to hoopla
Following up on the Kobe Bryant comment, I do think that at least some of the Cormier situation reflects poorly on the players. Yes, a good coach is able to achieve buy in from players and families, and yes, there are obviously situations where a coach's behavior is unacceptable and should not be bought into. However, in most cases, I think the best thing for achieving success is to buy in regardless of what you think your role should be, etc. In some way, it's actually more important than the xs and os. A lot of different approaches work -- what you need is everyone pulling in the same direction. Even if the coach is a jerk, you still need to pull. I'm not sure that has been the case at Dartmouth.
