Yeah.

I mean, I just think that's different for each player and person, too.

There are some people who like to get, you know, dogged on and, you know, push to the limits.

message for each player and a great coach can bring the best out of a talented player, understanding what they need, you know, while also holding people accountable.

You may have to pull this player to the side and talk, talk a little bit more softly, like the amount of patience that takes.

And, and just like, also there's an emotional IQ aspect of coaching that is not just about like, are you the best at drawing up plays?

Exactly.

That's why I think point guards end up being great coaches.

Out of touch or even abusive.
