Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4191782, member: 1026"] This assumes a game is the only place players can develop whereas a far bigger percentage of player development, coaching & improvement takes place in practice. We see 40 minutes of a guy sitting & that's our total context of his progression. Coach can run players in various scenarios for hours in practices to try and get them ready for games. Yes there is almost nothing like game conditions, but you can get darn close and develop & gauge how ready players are to step out under the brightest lights. Plus you can start & stop scrimmages on the spot to correct errors live - that teaching is often better for development than trial & error on the bigger stage where people like myself unfairly judge Diggins for 2 minutes.
