Exactly...Taken in context, nothing was out of line!  I stated as much in my reply to the 'Criticism' thread earlier this morning:
 
I just finished watching the presser. What I saw was a clearly frustrated coach calling out players who he know are capable of playing better than they did last night. [I]From where I sat, nothing was out to line or overly critical when taken in context.[/I]

For instance (I am paraphrasing):

1) Kaleb - Played great vs nova but hasn't been able to get going since. [I]<<<ME: This is really true. Kaleb needs to play more consistently. >>>
2) Tyler - Some player grabbed the rim...what was he thinking...nothing. Also, Rak was open and he dribbled off his leg. We can't be doing that. [I]<<<ME: The dribble off the leg was true, it was a bad play BUT NOTHING like the bad play on the putback. Plus, Tyler stayed in the game after each of these mistakes which says a lot. >>>
3) Chris - He started out playing great. Now we just want to get him to play bad because that would be a step up. [I]<<<ME: If CMAC is so thin skinned that he cannot accept this criticism, then I feel bad for him because I think JB could of been far more critical. >>>

BTW...He also was critical of MG (I don't know why he took that shot) and Trevor (he passed when he should of shot and shot when he should of passed). Only Rak was spared last night...

So, at the end of the day, the kids needs to step it up and play to their potential. They know that. The coaches know that.

I'm curious and anxious to see if this happens...[/I][/I][/I]
