Message: [QUOTE="Redux, post: 3943164, member: 11089"] I think that's a basic flaw in your view of the "system." Any overview is going to fall short but as I see it (on this limited point [I]only[/I]): his system is to develop a player to be productive within his framework, [B][I]however long it takes[/I][/B]. In the past this has probably ranged from a few months of practice and a half-dozen games to most of a first season to two seasons (maybe the norm) to four years to never. Many of the players who never completely got it were still major contributors and starters for years. Looking at a theoretical four year process you are exaggerating the effect of changes such as transfers and pro-exits. If the pressures from those factors increase it dos not necessarily need to impact the way Geno works. He's still looking for his kind of raw characteristics, he's still helping that individual player develop as fast as she can, he's still (in games) using the best combination of those players he has at hand. [I]On this limited point[/I] you raise, nothing really needs to change. [/QUOTE]
