Hagen,
Have you watched Elida play this year? The past few years?
There's been plenty of talent, and as a youth coach, I recognize when someone isn't utilizing the teams assets effectively.
Not ALWAYS the coach, but if you 'd like there is plenty of examples to give you.
I do realize that you have years of experience, though.
I have seen them a couple times the past couple years, yes. I don't think they've been drastically misused as a team though. Most of the top half of the WBL, as a whole, are similar in skills with a handful of split-decision plays creating the outcome of a contest. At the end of the day, Elida is 4-2 with a 1-2 loss at Celina (5-3) & a 2-4 loss at Wapak (5-2-1). They were two tough opponents on the road, thus far. It's unfortunate for Elida that they didn't come away with points in those contests, but I don't think they've been put into a disingenuous position by their coach to not compete. I'm also not saying they can't be better either — almost every team can be — but I think they're about where they should be thus far.
