from my observations the best coaches are at least 40, grew up with the game and can play themselves. young 20 year olds totally out of depth and should not be given big teams.

Not agree. I'm over 40, been playing the game and been involved with it on some level for over 30 years, and it's a different game. I'd prefer someone closer to how the game is played today and can communicate it then a dinosaur like myself.
Plus, in some instances, depending on age, some kids can communicate better with someone closer in age vs. someone who could be their grandfather, or close to it.
I don't see how you could make an assertion one way or the other. -
This is total nonsense. The essence of playing and teaching the game is always the same. So Phil Jackson wouldn't coach NBA today?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Nice when the coach can kick it around with the boys.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The mere fact that you consider it nonsense explains it all.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
The game has totally changed over the course of the last two decades. Doesn't mean they can't adapt (which is why I said you couldn't make the assertion one way or the other).
You could end up with someone like Wegner, unwilling to adapt to the way the game has changed and suffering for it every year.Comment

Depends on the individual coach. Experience managing the game, and experience dealing with a large group of kids is definitely helpful. It is also nice to have a younger coach available who can demonstrate tactical skills and technique at pace.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Just because you are older doesn't mean you don't know today's game.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
In fact experience should lead you to adapt better than the younger one's that have not seen as much. If you are a dinosaur is because you choose to remain one.Comment

Exactly. Some older coaches have the maturity and adaptability, along with skills to show a technique. Some younger coaches have the same.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Some older coaches are stuck in their ways and don't understand the game today, you to relate to kids today, and are beyond being able to show something.
Some younger coaches lack the maturity and responsibility that comes with training our youth.
I can't see where either one is 100% one way or the other....Comment

Right, hence "I don't see how you could make an assertion one way or the other."Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Another nonsense in terms of demonstration of skills at pace. Tactics are based on decisions not mimicking. Some of the best coaches of the game never were good players. The best demonstration is telling players to watch LA liga and EPL as examples. Watching good soccer players and games help at great deal.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Phil Jackson definitely can't coach today. Look what he has done with all the money the Knicks have given him. Gladly will trade Phil for Brad or Danny and give you some draft picks.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

How is it different?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Prevent them from scoring goals while you try to score as many as you can. Been the same way forever.Comment

The players have changed more than the game. They don't respect anyone or thing and they feel they are above the game.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Those changes bother Phil, but not Brad who has not known differently. They have hurt the game, that's for sure.Comment

What I told my son who is a young coach is, your challenge won't be coaching the players, it will be coaching the parents.Comment
