He is an excellent coach for sure, but all this seems at least quite arguableMishin said many a time in his interviews, that jumps are what matters in fs and the rest (spins, transitions, steps) is just a stuff which annoyingly gets in a way of a good jump [loose translation]
BTW another epic quote from Mishin (that bit was not included in the excellent translation by Lauravvv above):
'The music must be aimed at expanding the creative range of the athlete. Like it was with Evgeni Plushenko who I called a Shakespeare of figure skating for his supreme versatility and ability to take on any role.'
