Thanks for the recent inputs. I did say I wanted reactions to the comment and they are making a pattern. I notice that more and more are seeing the comment differently from me. In summary, you agree that a good coach can make a difference. I don't disagree with that. It makes sense really. What struck me more though was the connection between improved performance and and new coach. New coach makes a difference therefore new coach is good. I don't disagree with that either. What I felt was, "New" had been changed into "Good" by the commentator, and at the same time implied that the former coach was less good. I imagined the former coach's reactions if he had been listening.
"See what happens when a
different coach is brought in." Not much change in the words but the quality of the two coaches is no longer being directly compared.
Perhaps I'm over sensitive?);
