Okay, write the speech for the coach to give to the team when he plays x, a freshman with potential, over y, a senior who has played for three years with some success.  Tell me how you would approach other players who have worked their butts off for two or three years and watched while Joe potential plays and throws his first six passes into the bleachers, but oh did you see the goal he scored four games ago.  Coaches should have some reluctance to use as a rationalization, 'he's gonna take us to the FF in three years'.  Yeah, who says.  It's the old no. 22 problem.  Proven bad news more often than not in the last few years.  Everybody wants to anoint the new star.  Try a small group exercise.  Present a problem to ten team members.  When they struggle, watch them turn to a messiah to pull them out of trouble.  Of course he never comes.  No, we're stuck with a normal very reasonable hierarchy because it has proven serviceable for millennia.  Unless, of course, a kid named Sowers shows up next year.
