I'm not feeling a lot of the logic being thrown around here:
"If JB went over there, people would be saying he coddles his players"
"If JB went over, he would be bashed for not coaching up his players"
"JB is not a doctor, he can't add anything to the situation"

For #1 and #2, I don't remember anyone saying those things ever. They're unfounded hypotheticals. "If he did X, then probably Y would happen (where Y has never happened before)". For the 3rd, it's not about his knowledge but his compassion, especially after how he's been pointing out and treating Chris publicly.

Another one I hear is "You can't possibly know anything from a 2 minutes, it's like a high school player's tweet". I understand that it may not have been the best analogy, but I don't like the concept at all. With a 140 character text message, we don't see the person deliver the message, but just see it on the screen. In person there are over a million cues being given off. And that's just visually and audibly. That's not including sensing vibes. Through evolution humans can know a lot about another person within a few seconds of looking at him/her. It's an important survival mechanism. I know people like to protect other people from judgement by saying things like "you're not in the locker room, you don't know" or "We can't possibly know from a 2 minute interaction", but I assure you we can.
