Yea, if our All American wasn't an All American and was an untalented kid, then yea, he would be on the bench.  No clue where you were going with that comment.

You believe way too much in extrinsic motivation and its effects, in my opinion.  Our All-America is an instrinsically motivated kid.  He gets his work done and doesn't need anyone motivating him.  Your best players?  Intrinsically motivated kids 95 % of the time.

Just because you are a big time head coach doesn't mean kids do not roll their eyes at you.  I have worked around many of the best baseball coaches in the country while working for USA Baseball.  Trust me, those kids are rolling their eyes at things those elite coaches say too.

The amount of eye rolls during a speech has as much relation to winning as the color of Gatorade you drink at practice.

The important stuff is the scheme, how the scheme is taught to individuals and the overall player-coach relationship w/ levels of respect.  Everything else is just window dressing.
