[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summary of GD based on PPs (here and GFR thread):

Pros:

1. Tries to play possession / tiki-taka based game and to avoid kick and run.
[b]2. Holds players accountable with immediate in-game feedback.[/b]
3. Encourages players to do extra training, is willing to spend extra time with interested players, and rewards players who show that commitment with more playing time.

Cons:
1. Feedback can be harsh, particularly for sensitive players (and parents).
2. Charges for extra sessions (as does every coach in the DMV), which creates at least an appearance of a conflict of interest for playing time decisions.
3. Doesn’t like women (not clear if this applies to moms, players, or both).[/quote]

I disagree with this. He rage subs players who make a mistake and the in-game feedback consists of either beratement or ignoring the player, while trashing them to the rest of the team, nothing constructive. [/quote]

So do all his players dislike playing on his teams and leave? Or do some of his players and parents like him, but he’s nevertheless a bad fit for others (perhaps those who are less capable and/or thinner skinned). It’s not like he’s been coaching first teams at a top club where players who are aiming for P4 can feel trapped at a particular club. If he’s truly objectively bad, and not just a bad fit for some, you’d expect to see mass departures of players. Did that happen at GFR?[/quote]

We'll know how many parents liked him by how many players follow him to VRSC. Playing time will be harder for the bloated rosters if GD is bringing his favorites with him. [/quote]

Any idea which teams he’ll coach at VRSC? PP said he’s taking 2013s from MJ this spring. Is he also taking MJ’s 2011s? Looks like GD has GFR’s 2011s, wonder if any would follow mid-season. [/quote]

He has 4 teams now. He must be coaching at least 2 at VRSC. [/quote]

Maybe he will take some of the GA2 teams?[/quote]

2013 parents were told GD is taking that team in the spring. MJ’s other team is 2011, but I haven’t heard anything about a near-term change there, and no one knows about next year. But I’m sure VRSC will do whatever it can to pull GFR’s top players starting with ID sessions next month. [/quote]

GD will lose his mind with that team. They are polar opposite to his style.[/quote]

How so?[/quote]

VRSC 2013s are about as opposite of a possession/footwork team as you can get, at least the games I have seen.[/quote]
