I actually thought that was a pretty good analogy on Eric's part, although I 
don't necessarily agree with Arena's apparent belief that we have no one 
else who can replace Agoos.  He could just as well be very pro-Agoos as a 
lot of us here are anti-Agoos.  Just because you are the coach and get to 
see and train the players every day doesn't make you infallible.  
Nonetheless, good analogy!

In a related note, I think there are many many tactical similarities between 
soccer and basketball.   Basketball is small sided ball movement and defense 
with five players.  Off the ball running, maneuvering the defense, 
pressuring, containing, trapping, attacking with the dribblee, and on and 
on.  Soccer is the same, but add another layer of players around the five at 
the perimeter, and some interesting dimensions.  Study the tactics of 
basketball and a coach might be able to bring some innovations to the 
tactics of soccer.
