Message: [QUOTE="twinight, post: 3182869, member: 1555"] CPR is not like it is in the movies. It's very violent and invasive. That's what it takes to bring someone back to life. Carey is not progressing like anyone would hope. And is, apparently, not practicing as the coaches would hope. He didn't just arrive on campus, this has been going on for a while. I think JB sees a kid who is not doing the things that are asked of him in practice and in play and feels like he's running out of ways to get him to respond. Benching him and publicly saying he doesn't feel Carey gives us the best chance to win may make him "such a dick" or "such an ass" to you, but I see it as a last-ditch effort to try and get him to respond. Lighting a fire of "I'll prove you wrong," works with some kids. It may or may not work with Carey, but I think it's fair to say that what they tried the last year+ wasn't working either. The idea that this is just about JB's ego is such a corny, short-sighted take. [/QUOTE]
