Sometimes a coach has to do the hard thinking for the team. Several times I have been in the situation of having to step up to keep a team in the game close in a game. Recently, I purposely went out of town when we played a very weak team knowing that if I was there the victory would have been ridiculously easy. But being out of town made my team step up and win a close game thus building up their confidence that they can win without me. Obviously, I run the risk that they only win when I am out of town but that is just an artifact of my incredible strategies and know how of the game. A great coach has to suffer for his craft.
