I finally figured out what this post was really about. You got turned down as the coach of the new BJU hockey team :)

Your original post talked about support statements (getting back on target here). I like the term of support that goes like this: ” I do not respect you as a person, but I respect your office.” That one really speaks of no support at all. Might as well go home.

1. Now we’re getting fishy in our analogies!

2. How do you know fish don’t know they’re wet?

I agree one team. And a specifically dictated heirarchy within the team. I wouldn’t get too worked up about a “team management” that isn’t even recognized in the rulebook.

We are blind to some things the way fish do not know they are wet.

@ d4 Dave

Well, the analogy is breaking down, I think, but basically I think there is only One Team.

The problem may be that you think in terms of teams.

“Maybe our analogy is getting a little unwieldy.”

Yeah, it is. But I’ve looked into the matter, and while I think your blogging hasn’t been perfect, I still support you and you’ll remain on my reading list.

Until you resign from the blogosphere next week.

Oops, misread you there. Sorry about that.

If the coach no longer desires to continue, you can’t force him to continue, obviously. But the whole scene is disappointing.

Well, I’m not thinking of ‘fans’ who have opinions, but people who are, or ought to be members of the same team.(Maybe the coach analogy breaks down here.) The coach, in our analogy, hasn’t done anything worthy of the rebellion, but the team members have turned on him unjustifiably. They’ve painted him as something he is not. And they don’t have much use for the management either. Yet they claim to serve the same owner.

…

Maybe our analogy is getting a little unwieldy.
