I've always been a firm believer that (to a degree) in every high school exists a state championship capable team if you look hard enough and take the right approach to coaching them. Basically, with the right coaching you can make any place great.
What I'm curious to see is: let's assume this is all true. How would YOU go about building a dynasty program out of a school that has never had success? Assume here that you are a new coach. What would be your principles?
Also, feel free to dispute this. I'm not saying this is true to the letter, but I think believing the talent is out there in each high school is an optimistic approach that sets the right mindset for taking over a program.
