I assumed that the coach had communicated what he was trying to do with the players, but I think that the question and replies were too quick to question the coach's motives and tactics, especially before the regular season has started, and more so if a parent is questioning his system. I still think that a coach who is teaching new ideas, such as a zonal defense to players who have only played man-to-man, is commendable. The players that he is training may be the coaches that take over the program in future years, and the more ideas that they are introduced to may help the program in the future.
