like the article / study points to........it isn't just welcoming confrontation, but understanding how to USE it, how to "make light and not fire" (sort to speak).
We have to be wary of bullying thought in the coaches office.
Coach Skip: "Versus this team this week I was thinking of running veer concepts"
Coach Bill: "Interesting.....what do you mean? Draw it up and sell me......."
Coach Skip may be completely out of his element (or maybe he does have good input), but the 'creative/innovative' thought process should be allowed to bring things up and opened up to scrutiny. Let them say their piece.....then let them defend how it works within your scheme / teaching methodology - you may uncover a better play / efficient teaching style.
If Coach Skip is out in left field he will see it for himself when he is unable to articulate the idea in a cogent concept (rather than just being stiffled / shouted down by the old salts on staff), but better than that he will UNDERSTAND why it does/doesn't work and why the scheme you use is so important (and what elements you face).
And this thread, is about looking at ways to MAKE YOUR STAFF BETTER (not {censored} or gripe or backslap about how we have it). Hopefully, looking at evaluating the ENTIRE TEAM (in the off season) to make a top-down, bottom-up approach to bettering the product - exploring ways and perspectives on how to view our staff cohesion
