Nothing of surprise there. I thought Parco might take Van Ness this time around, otherwise pretty much as expected.
Cael has a huge advantage over Tom and Terry in a number of ways:
1. Money. Lots of it.
2. An eye for recruiting talent, not just "toughness," and he knows how to maximize it.
3. He doesn't preach intensity and aggression. Rather, he instills focus and confidence. There's a bit of a "Zen" approach to his coaching that allows his wrestlers to lock in and maximize their talent.
Tom and Terry are legends and great coaches, but you have to question if their "battering ram" coaching style is sustainable with the wrestlers over the course of a season or career. At some point, incessant preaching of toughness and proper preparation habits has to result in diminishing returns.
