This is the kind of SHYT I talk about all the time. Simple Game Management ability. Always knowing the situation from HC down to players. This is simply not understanding the concept of physically practicing the mental aspects of the game. This kind of stuff litters all sports every day, granted not quite as egregious as this folly.
I kept thinking about this and this is as simple as it gets. I talk about it all the time regarding how people want an offensive minded head coach etc. This is why you need a guy who has "it". The ability to understand and process what is going on every single second of every single game. Whatever the sport there were always a few things I thought about during every single game or match I was involved in: Time and score, Down and distance, number of fouls both team/personal, count and situation, it just does not matter. A head coach has to know all of these things without thinking. These things are innate.
