A tough balance

I have heard that players win games and coaches lose them and I think that there is some truth to that. Too often, coaches over analyze and overcoach. It can confuse players and make them too mechanical.

So, here is my dilemma. I am coach that loves to run plays. I see weaknesses and know how to expose them. The problem is an inexperienced team gets confused by those plays. Do I:

1. Sit back and let them make the mistakes, hoping that good outweighs the bad?
2. Try and control what they do to limit the mistakes and potentially take away their natural ability.

We'll see as the season progress.
