I agree with half of your post….the other half, nope.
Good coaches find other good coaches to be successful because you have built trust, respect and a genuine friendship. Top talent/top players and top coaches don’t always equal a successful team. I’m not saying my opinion is gospel, I just know from personal experience. After coaching girls basketball, softball, including Travel and Strictly Showcase Tourneys,…you want your coaches to be your friend, guys you can talk to and trust. These coaching relationships permeate through to the players. That makes a huge difference. I did for me, my coaches and players.
