Doc was quoted in today's Globe saying: "It's been proven, the more you stay the same, the better you get."
Good advice when you're teaching, but coaching demands more.
I am pretty darn sure that the more you "stay the same" the more you don't improve.
I believe what Doc means to say is that repetition can lead to mastery, but after that skill is mastered you are just stuck at that level...you need to find something else higher to master. This is where you have to adapt and staying the same won't do it for you.
I think a lot of our third quarter problems are due to other teams making adjustments at halftime, and us staying the same, with a do-it-right-and-it-will work mentality.
