The thing for people that disagree is that he’s not a veteran with a lot of success to rely on that would warrant getting on him for missing an open guy.
I’m all for tough love and getting on your guys - but He’s making his second career start on the road. He is well aware he’s playing like crap. He doesn’t need a coach jumping down his throat too, he needs a little support. He’s seeing ghosts and has absolutely no confidence in himself at the moment and an assistant coach jumping on him immediately isn’t going to help him find that read any better. He can’t lock in because he has nothing to lock in on. It’s a confidence issue.
Athletes talk about this all the time that they’re scared to make a mistake but there’s a big group of sports fans that are ‘manly men’ only tough love works and you’re so focused on taking your anger out on a guy you don’t even care if he succeeds moving forward you just want to take your frustration out on him. Hell, our own Kaleb Joseph has made a second career out of talking to kids about this type of behavior from coaches. Your job is to coach your guys where they are, not where you want them to be. This isn’t healthy or helpful. As my mom used to say “there’s a time and place”
