Some coaches believed they could judge a player's performance simply by watching it. in this they were deeply mistaken. the naked eye was an inadequate tool for learning what you needed to know to evaluate baseball players and baseball games. think about it. one absolutely cannot tell, by watching, the difference between a .300 hitter and a .275 hitter. the difference is one hit every two weeks. the difference between a good hitter and an average hitter is simply not visible-it is a matter of record

Offense at indiana is not equal opportunity. those players who shoot best are going to shoot most. it is important that every player know his offensive limitations. it is also important that a player know who the best shooter is on the team. when a passer has the option of passing to two players, i expect him to get the ball to the best shooter. i continually stop practice and ask players who the best shooter is and i expect them to know. it is important that you get the ball to your best shooter.
