Hawks' Coach -- The elegant wording of this paragraph helps convey the very good philosophy. Of course, you are absolutely right. I just wish all coaches were as verbal and circumspect as you!!
I think stripes knows this principle, but is seeing the various situations described here a little differently than some others who are posting. Also, I've noticed that the language on this board can be an enormous hindrance to our learning, sometimes. If we were all at camp together, I'm not sure we'd all like each other, but it would be easier for us to talk about situations, since we'd at least all see the same physical set-ups. Whether we all NOTICED the same things would of course be another matter...
