One of the rubrics that he has used from the beginning of his tenure is a "Contending" crew vs. a "pretending" crew with respect to moving up to better games, playoffs, etc. Personally I found it off putting. I was not a fan of his micromanaging and felt that he has gone overboard at time, but, in general, did appreciate his trying to standardize things.

Coming to a new state this season, it was trying at time doing sub-varsity game where everybody had different ways of communicating on the field because there is little standardization.
