We had a couple collegiate coaches and one renowned high school coach have an "open table discussion" with us during one of my college camps this summer. It was quite hilarious because they didn't know we were basically told to listen and after they left we would be told "what they really meant". The head of the camp was hilarious. The coaches left and he pointed out everything he felt they really meant during the 30 minute discussion. It was productive but not because you could take the literal meaning of what the coaches were actually saying.
