An imagination in coaching is about handling problems such as:
...no or little staff
...facility issues
...budget problems
...personnel matters (team is to small, to slow, not deep, etc)
...team situations (lack of chemistry or ability to shoot)
It will be your imagination that will allow you to envision where you want to be -- and then your determination and persistence that will allow you to get there.
