Scott Skiles is an extremely demanding coach, and the first year he is with any team, the players buy into his system and he maximizes the output from his players that first year, and his team maximizes their achievement (I refrain from using the word overachieve, because its an unfair judgement to a team that wins games). I experienced this firsthand as a bulls fan when he was with us. However after that initial year, his teams will slack off under the false assumption that because they are more experienced in his system, they will perform better. The players do not realize that their success within his system depends completely on their effort, and that as such, they must continue to put forth that effort to achieve equal success as they did the previous season. If the team doesn’t put forth that effort, than the team will finish worse than the year before, becoming discouraged and losing faith in his system. Even if they put forth the same effort, their success the first year robs them of a decent draft pick to significantly improve their talent to increase their ability to succeed, and so their failure to improve on their success from the previous year causes the players to lose faith and the system and stop putting forth the same initial effort they had the first season. As players put in less and less effort, the team stops maximizing their achievement, and Skiles is removed from the organization leaving a broken team behind.
