eli,
as usual you argue a very strong case. though i think quite a bit of your "book" falls under the umbrella of play calling as well as game management. i feel that one of the best assets of being a great play caller is knowing when to call or not to call borderline fouls, accumulation fouls, and to also utilize play memorization.(play memorization-rough definition-taking a snap shot of "tough" plays that you or your partners have called and calling the same "tough" play consistently all night) these points could arguably be used in both definitions of play calling and game managing. also calling plays that "fit" the game (i feel) falls more towards the play calling side. again, that point can be argued both ways.
in the context that the question was asked, "would you rather have some one that is a game manager or play caller?", i feel we should seperate the two more definitively, put aside the points that can be considered falling under both categories and differentiate the 2.
