It's simple- everybody learns and takes criticism differently.

Certain ways of coaching will thus benefit certain personalities better.

From what I gather from Chris, he seems like a reserved player. Almost shy. Other guys, and for some reason a guy like Eric devendorf comes to mind, can handle the other side of the coaching style. They can feed off of it. Others lose confidence.

My buddy growing up was on a baseball team with me, our coach was the classic "mean" coach that many didn't want to play for but knew the game. The outcome? Guys who were good at baseball, often the ones who had parents involved as assistants, etc, didn't mind the coaching because they made less errors, and if they did, could feed off it. Kids like my friend were legit so scared to not mess up, the opposite happened. He got like one hit all season. I was somewhere in the middle- decent enough to field grounders cleanly, etc, but still was on the more "shy" side and almost dreaded practices at times.

This is obviously not a great comparison to college bball, nor should it be, but the point is, kids respond differently to certain coaching/"motivational" styles.

In fact, maybe it's not simple at all! Lol
