I wondered whether this simple statement would elicit challenges -- and no surprise, it has.
Some don't, but bballman, luvbaseball and others apparently understand this HUGELY IMPORTANT POINT:
It doesn't matter a hill of beans whether politics exist!
It also doesn't matter whether a coach knows HOW to win.
What matters is what players and parents can control.
(And btw, sluggerdad: Even in the big leagues, managers sometimes "Let short-term results blind themselves to the better long run bet.")
Who do we complain to then??
