Message: [QUOTE="M.S.G., post: 3549838, member: 10660"] That's actually a really good point. At the same time, I've always felt that elite players struggle with coaching. There are outliers of course, but I think the concept has legs. Being a coach for years and having worked with elite talent, they just innately know where to be and how to move. Some players need to be taught, I needed to be taught myself, and that helped me learn the game at a deeper level. I know a young coach who was a D-3 player and would absolutely lose his marbles when kids couldn't pick up concepts or just have that innate ability to read the game - because it just came to him. I think this applies to Ewing, while he frustrated me during my childhood as a Knick fan, he was elite regardless if he never won anything. So I think Chief's point sticks, I think it's too easy to say that pros have to change their communication style to meet the college level, I think it's more elite pros vs. role players. [/QUOTE]
