In my opinion coaches can only "preach" so much to the team.  I think it comes down to players calling each other out and holding each other accountable.  How else can coaching correct the problem?  Bench players?

In part, yes. It's not 'preach'ing, it's understanding what pieces you have on the board and how to use them effectively. It's knowing when the right time is to pull the wild card out of your pocket and play it. It's understanding that your repeated attempts to employ your primary strategy aren't working, and finding a way to pivot.

It's week 9, and I still see us failing to hit those marks.
