[QUOTE="Ga65, post: 1452622, member: 610685"] In this league we have really excellent coaches and it becomes a chess match each game. That was what bothered me with first half leads that disappeared in the second half. After several meetings coaches will have learned new approaches. However, I believe we are seeing wrinkles added by BU each game that are also effective ala Happ and Winston. It was just not possible to add the wrinkles before the basic system was effective. Sometimes we will win these chess matches and sometimes not. I do believe he views the team differently than I have traditionally with five players and temp subs. He looks at it as a team of ten(?) pieces that he can use to create matchup problems either offensively or defensively. That is why next year will be interesting with a very different piece in Kofi. Doesn't fit the way we are playing now so requires some adaptation. Samba if he develops could be a very different piece as well as a sharpshooter Alan. He starting coaching here with no queen, no knights, and some poor bishops. Next year it looks like he will have the pieces, let the match begin. [/QUOTE]
