Tough discussion. What do you do in Year 2 when the fans want success and your star players are getting in trouble but you don't have enough depth with other star players so there's a drop off if you bench those guys, leading to not winning? Knowing what we know now it obviously wouldn't have mattered, but what do you do? I'm in in the camp of full accountability and discipline regardless of who you are, but when your livelihood depends on it, I can see where the decision gets difficult I guess.
That is the tough position coaches get put in. Hoiberg has had similar and handled it differently. Teddy Allen got suspended and later transferred, and I believe that might have been at the recommendation of the coach. Verge didn't start a game for disciplinary reasons.

One of the biggest lessons I learned coaching Lacrosse was you had to treat everyone the same as to not create division on the team. We benched one of our Star Players because he got an attitude like he didn't need to listen to us or play within the system. Dropped his ass on the bench for a while and amazing how he learned to play within the parameters of our game plan. He was an amazing athlete who got by on superior Athletic Ability but had some bad habits that really hindered his play, especially when we were playing against well coached teams. He knew every time he went rogue and didn't run the play correctly he was hitting the pines. The rest of the team saw this thus knew if you didn't run the play correctly you weren't going to stay on the field no matter how good you were. Was like breaking a Stallion but we did it.

Yeah that’s the camp in. I can understand why you’d do the things you do with certain players to keep them on the field, but at the end of the day if you’re gonna talk the talk then walk the walk
