It seems like the term eye test is starting to be used as a crutch for positions unsupported by facts

I can't begin to count how many games the opposition has either altered their strategy midway through a close game or while down and the flames haven't responded by doing anything differently.
I suppose it's not the easiest thing to imperically prove but you can see that the flames play the same structure and system of breakout and attack and coverage no matter what their opponent is throwing at them. Just watch when a team goes from being more passive onthe forecheck to actually sending two guys and hassling our breakout, GG doesn't change to adapt.
In terms of personnel it is absolutely on the gym to get the right players but it's also on a coach to adapt his system to utilize the strengths of his players. Babcock is a great example of a coach who can do this, he doesn't force square pegs into round holes.
