What are Mike Babcock’s weaknesses as a coach? I mean. Is it JUST Ben Smith, or does he have other blind spots?—Achariya
Two things.
One is just a weighting of particular skills. I mostly just trust the man on his choices because everywhere he goes he seems to win at shit, but I think in specific cases (faceoffs for Smith, Hunlak as described in the next question) it gets far enough out of joint that I can’t quite keep the faith. I think he’s usually noticing things that have some genuine value, just not as much as is implied by his usage of certain players.
