Coaching is the X factor during the playoffs. The most talented team does not always win. The best coaches will have scouted their opponents and they will prepare accordingly. A well thought out game plan and strategy can make the difference in two evenly matched teams. It can also help to overcome a lack of talent. Sound game planning coupled with smart in-game decisions/adjustments will many times lead to a championship.

WM – Tough to go undefeated for the season. Loses in second round. MC - Should win it all, but their coaching might let them down again. This coach has had some of the best talent on LI for the past few years and has not been able to seal the deal. SE – I think this is the surprise team to watch out for. NP – Loses in the 1st round. SN – Can beat MC in the 1st round. If that happens, they will lose in second round. H – Loses in the 1st round.
