Depth means something different to many people. Depth to a diver means simply how deep the water may be. Depth can describe how detailed someone may be when looking into a subject (“in-depth”). Obviously, depth has a different meaning to sports fans, coaches and athletes. Most fans hear “depth” and think of it in terms of how talented the players are behind the starters. This is very much a correct way in thinking, but there is another way to look at depth (a “deeper” meaning, if you will).
