[quote=Anonymous]Great coaching? Easy to coach top team. What makes it great coaching? Quality practice's or just reps?
Yes, good coaching involves both quality practices and high reps; however, the ability to motivate a good player to be a player is just as important. The ability to handle egos and make them buy into the team concept (in the case of Rose's team) is equally important. Graz has some of the best talent on LI (maybe the east coast) but doesn't motivate the team to get better. Yells all game, and leans on previous skill instead of deeper development. He plays in B and C divisions in tournaments and still doesn't win.
Totally disagree. Graz is very dedicated (has the team in numerous year-round leagues, practices, etc), focused on making the girls better players and does not "yell all game". Also regarding "B/C divisions in tournaments and still didn't win", that is also not true. His team last summer only lost 4-5 games all summer long and two of those losses were to the Blue team and one was to M&D Black. The only bad loss was to TG Purple when their goalie played spectacular.
