Reply to "Cutting Seniors"

Someone asks if the Senior in question is good why cut him.

Here's the logic a young guy has who's a new coach. The first thing he assesses is "can i win this year" - if he thinks no then he says. When can I win?

Eventually he says I have few seniors who may be slightly better than my underclassmen AND if I keep them everyone will say why isn't the senior playing he's better (if only marginally).

To the coach he does not want that controversy in a 10-10 season HE WANTS TO WIN! He figures his chance to win is in the future and he needs to give the underclassmen playing time so that they can be ready as seniors.

This attitude is strictly about the W's and L's.

Not what I'd want in a coach - but I'd bet this is what's going through this guys head.
