[QUOTE="Dunhookin, post: 826187, member: 74570"] Hmm that this thread has attracted no replies or comments indicates that's it's a difficult conundrum with no readily available definitive answer. The stance taken by the coach here is wrong on the one hand, quite understandable on the other. The desire to win and be successful is very understandable - but it doesn't sound like the coach has explained the rational of that approach to the group with all the implications that go with it. Positioning the objective to the group and gaining their commitment to that help immeasurably with player management and reduces disaffection. The 'win win win' philosophy means some players will miss out on any game time, they will feel ostracised and alienated by that and will be gone pretty quickly. Whereas the participation approach - where shared game time or a player rotation situation is demonstrably more equitable. However, the team may not be as successful on the field - which some will not be in favour of. Clearly there's no utopia. Is this coach's approach acceptable was the question. To me no it isn't, though I do understand why he's taking the approach - so I wouldn't be overly critical with the guy about it. My preference would be to use player rotation as first priority with results second - but that's just me [/QUOTE]
