I find Wilner's article to be excellently focused and educational.
This phrase strikes a giant chord and I've seen it in the professional world, in various contexts, also:
"T.edford's focus on tactics, at the expense of chemistry..."
That's the thing about sports. Like other complex domains, it is not a technical realm like physics. It is a mental realm, about community, identity, and philosophy. You can dream up a a great technical plan but you can't simply upload it into a group of guys that don't have a shared identity. Has to run deeper than that.
