Fortunes have been built on guesses, some educated guesses, some based on a hunch.
Coaches you refer to guess when they put together gameplans.
They're guessing from film study what they anticipate they will see from the opposing team.
Sometimes they guess right other times they're wrong. It happens.
But its caustic to ME when people try to downplay somebody guessing correctly.
The trick is to discern who's guesses based on history you want to give credence to.
Rather than try to discredit them...make a choice!
