Who said/implied he "stopped holding practices?"
I thought the question/s were more in line with: 
• Why don't we have more offensive sets? JB has said in the past that we have (much) fewer plays than other teams 'because our kids can't remember them' or some such nonsense. 
• Why don't we have post players capable of catching the ball. Or executing simple dropsteps or jump hooks, etc. We see schlubs at D2 schools doing it. We see high schoolers doing it. Why aren't we learning and developing those skills?
• Why aren't we encouraging Brissett, for example, to play inside-out instead of outside-outside. 
• Why do we still think bringing Chukwu up to the top of the key is a valid offensive strategy. Is that actually working in practice? Who's falling for that?

I don't even know what you might mean by "JB stopped holding practices." Do you mean that JB is just sitting in his office or napping while Red and GMac run things? When was that suggested?

Personally, i have a completely foundationless impression of the 'tone' of our practices. That sorta coincides with JB's personality. I have a completely different impression of practices conducted by certain other coaches. I hope our practices are 'high energy,' but i kinda don't feel like they are. As i said—no real basis for that thought. But, i think others probably feel the same way, and maybe that colors the commentary.
