This will be quick. My request to Dr. Stables post my comments was sent a day or two before I requested a response from Dr. Warner via private communications. So, there is some time lag issues. However, that is really irrelevant.
I choose to disagree with Dr. Warner over his strategy and tactics for achieving change. It is obvious that I agree with him about a lot of issues regarding American policy debate. However, I think change should be made at the administrative level-among coaches, directors, and organizations. Ede and I see the world in two different ways. I do not see any productive purpose in engaging in this discussion with him any further. I look forward to seeing and evaluating his teams at tournaments in the furture. Their criticisms make some very valid points. But, I think that the community reaction has now become more of a "how do we construct a winning strat against THEM," rather than a "how can We make some fundamental changes within our organization(s) to address their complaints." At that point, I think the movement for change has stalled.
