19 Point Plan - #18: Sensational seniors
April 22, 2010 9:55 AM
The real lesson here, of course, is that those teams that keep their classes together consistently possess senior leadership in spades. Easier said than done, I know - many of the grades/off-the-field issues that lead to player dismissal are completely beyond the control of the coach. So yeah, it's a little luck.
But here's the key: by my observation, those teams with great senior leadership year-to-year have less grade/off-the-field issues. It's a culture. It's contagious. It's what produces the Zeke Markshausens and the O'Brien Schofields. It's my turn. It's my time to shine. I'll run with it as far as I can and then I'll pass it on to you.
