Wouldn't you think Gordon or Anoiske are Alphas? And if so, why isn't their presence working?
On another note, does it not bother folks that our players remained a bit passive to the taunting and showing out on The Summitt?
I'm not saying to get out of line or strike back, but if Candace Parker was playing in that game, um... you know she would be making some kind of point to get that trash out of TBA!
I'm thinking a dunk.....
I think Gordon or Anoiske were Alphas when they were players, yes...But there is a huge difference between a A-player and a A-coach.
MJ,Magic and Bird were all supreme A-players who couldn't make the transition to coaching.
I am an Alpha coach.
I can coach Alpha's and have.
Why, because no player on this planet has as much personality and drive than I have.
If they think they're all that, One workout with me and I can expose their deficiencies.
More importantly, I can work with them on eliminating those deficiencies.
There are two,possibly three Alpha players on this team.
They have to be handled differently than the others.
My theory here is that there is a Beta at the helm and that negates all but true Alpha coaches.
If the Beta has the final say so, a weaker Alpha will hold their tongue and let the Beta fail, hoping to take the spot when it ultimately opens. One like me, I will go toe to toe every day with my Beta overseer until I am proven wrong.
And, I relish the thought of someone proving me wrong!
I do this even now. In March I moved to Sevierville and had to start at the bottom of my new employment. I mean rung one on the proverbial ladder...Less than a year later I have improved one department and asked for and got transferred to a department that better suited my experience and am now improving another one. I am in immediate-sight of the executive management and want it that way.
I can do the same thing with the LV's.
But for that to happen, CHW has to swallow her pride and accept help she doesn't want.
That won't happen.
She has already proven this.
