If you re keeping score, win. I was a coach who listened. I had guys when I was coaching who were in their thirties, like Cousy, Havlicek, Russell, all those guys. They were very bright. I've got to be stupid, as a coach, not to utilize their intelligence.
Power is ego.
Bill Russell was an emotional guy with a great mind. You could fool him once, but you'd never fool him twice. You play as you practice. You've got to avoid overcoaching. You've got to avoid talking too much.
