I don’t think you meant this the way I read it

The line about Niele’s “compassion”. It implies being less demanding of excellence and BBall knowledge. It goes without saying by everyone on this board (and definitely you) that Niele knows basketball and her love of competition will result in a great deal of aggressive, in your face basketball.
At the risk, again of being pilloried, I think too much focus on ‘perfection’ if it results of being yanked from the game for making a mistake or being yipped at on the bench has a negative affect on performance. And, I’m not talking here about a general refusal by a player to demonstrate effort, teamwork, composure, etc. I’m not worried about Allie. And, I think recruiting already has benefitted by everything about Niele.

You're right. I used the wrong word.

How about "personal charisma"?

Plus, I agree with you on the focus on 'perfection'. I'll stand beside you for any pillorying. I'm sure if I sat down with Muffet and talked about her focus on 'perfection' it would be understandable, but I agree. It was the one phrase I found curious, as in "we want to give Muffet her 'perfect' game." I didn't know what it meant.
