When one picks this part out to comment on and doesn't touch the other part, well, then, it's called being on the losing end of the conversation. A coach creating or being essential to becoming a D1 athlete, as CardinalBacker said, is the same thing. There is a lot of ability out there that has not been developed. A "good" coach can realize this potential and "create" a D1 player. A bad coach cannot. Does anyone honestly think that talent just happens to show up at WOS year in and year out? How about Carthage? Aledo? Does one honestly think talent just "shows" up every year there? And no other schools in their districts ever gets any talent?? If so, now THAT would be the most delusional statement anyone would have seen here for quite some time.
