Interesting though that Grotberg was a DI talent who slipped to DIII; the success (in terms of wins and losses) that Grinnell is having is attributable to the same factor that other DIII schools success has been...get quality players who are overlooked/injured/transferred but could have played at a higher level.  That is the case in the NESCAC (the DIII league with which I am most familiar) and I would guess in other places.  The nice piece of the system is that the "other kids" get a real piece of the action as well!

Also, in the original system calculus they tried to count trips past the hash marks by other teams "bigs"...I think the number they shot for was 150.  That has changed, but I always thought it was the most inventive of the goals.

Coach Ferrier-
Just a word of advice that the first video is the one to have...the second is more of a series of tweaks to the sytem as it evolved for Grinnell.  The basic tenets are also in the book Running to Extremes...likely available wherever you got tht video.  That being said, just go crazy...press on everything, sell out for steals, try to launch a shot w/in 10 seconds and make sure half of them are threes.  Play one minute shifts (trust me) and get the kids to be free and loose...you will have fun, build self-confidence, and instill the values of hard work, win or lose, and that is what it is all about.
