You are 100% correct there is always a winner and a loser. The issue at hand is when a coaches decision making actually has negativel influences on a games outcome. If a game is well played and well coached it's really pretty to watch. As a fan of the game you walk away thinking how great that particular game was and that both teams played well. Most teams fail to achieve their potential due to poor coaching. Players make mistakes and that's fine it's part of sports. Yet if there is no plan that the coach wants the players to execute, who's fault is it when the team plays poorly? I would say the coaches. Even teams that dont have a talent pool to draw from when well coached look some what decent.
