My high school varsity soccer coach.  Nice guy, just couldn't coach.  When I played on JV, we beat the varsity team about 1/3rd of the time and we had a much better record.  The varsity coach kept bringing up the guys that scored in the scrimmage.  He couldn't understand why they'd then struggle at the varsity level.  He never figured out that it was because of how much better the JV coach was.  When I was a senior on the varsity team, we were better, but it was because of the JV coaches training that we used in spite of the varsity coach.

The JV coach, on the other hand, was the best coach I ever had.  English guy.  Showed up for first practice in a suit.  Got changed in his Porsche.  Was a successful guy that just loved and missed soccer.  Besides winning, he was just a better guy.  We had a bad game against a rival.  Had some defensive communication lapses.  We came to practice the next day and lined up to run.  Varsity coach was big on making you run after a bad game.  He asked why we were lined up.  We told him we thought we'd be running.  He asked if we lost because we were out of shape.  We said we lost because of a few stupid shapes.  So he said, let's work on that.
