Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5128643, member: 173"] Tim Green wrote in “Dark Side of the Game” that Sanders was a great teammate and one of the most business savvy guys he’s ever known. I don’t entirely get that; I played with a star player who acted a lot like Deion - nobody could stand him and he had a huge impact on creating terrible team chemistry. I don’t know how you can be as self-promoting as Sanders is, and still be a positive impact on team chemistry - but that’s what Green said. I don’t know that approach can work as a coach though. One of the things that drove me insane about Coach P was after losses when he would talk about “execution needs to be better”. It sounded like a coach saying “hey, I did everything right, we called the right plays - players just screwed it up”. Because of his persona and approach, Sanders tends to throw players under the bus in a similar way. It can work for short periods of time, but tends to fail in the long run. [/QUOTE]
