Episode notes

- The sport feels urgent as schools must win now amid realignment and rapid change.

- Fast roster churn pressures coaching stability and weakens long-term chemistry.
- Without transfer penalties, teams risk frequent quitting and unstable seasons.

- Use the new coach's challenge sparingly since a wrong challenge costs a timeout.
- Reserve it for late-game, high-leverage calls like potential goaltends or out-of-bounds plays.
