Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 4121157, member: 297"] I think you're talking about JB developing players in the macro sense, and Bulldog is talking about it in the context of Griff actually being the coach that does the work with Edwards to make him a better player. It's not far fetched to believe JB just doesn't involve himself in direct, 1:1 player development anymore. Which maybe if you're recruiting better and winning more is something a coach can put entirely on the assistant coaches. But when you're a losing team and you decided in a crucial moment of a game that the guy you've been going to as a backup isn't actually trusted (after he had already proven himself in a close and late situation against Indiana), as the head coach you're accountable for not being involved enough in player development and putting your chances to win at risk.
