I think you bring up an interesting topic.  One problem with message boards and judging certain decisions that are made during a game is that unlike the coach we have 3 advantages:  Time, focus, and outcome.

- Sitting at home and thinking about a certain play the following day we have all the time in the world to 2nd guess and then back it up with stastical information from the last 30 years or the last 2 weeks of the season.  Whatever statistics best suite our argument

- We also don't have all of the other issues to deal with at the same time that the coaching staff has.  A coach not only has the specific play running through his head but at the same time he might be subconsciously distracted by 2 teammates arguing on the sidelines or a Michael Hay personal foul (that has or hasn't happened in yet but definitely will happen).  When you add this and the time issue together it makes decision making even more difficult - obviously.

- We also know the outcome.  That makes pretending we know what to do a lot easier when we already know what happened.
