Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5626009, member: 628"] Sure you can. NIL complicates things, but culture can be built quickly. I think about my kid's travel hockey teams. Every year was a big turnover in players. On an 18 person team there'd usually only be 4 or 5 kids he played with the season before. And yet every season was wildly different in terms of culture. Some coaches were great communicators, great teachers, and had a highly functional environment almost from day 1. Others were poor at those things and by mid-season it was all griping and selfishness. There's many levels to culture. And a LOT rides on the players. But a great coach can create a good one quickly.
