Message: [QUOTE="Guy Fawkes, post: 1704277, member: 170"] JB is a pseudo psychologist and forward thinking tactician with his use of the media. He wants to motivate a player that he hasn't been able to by conventional means.. so he calls him out in the press. He uses the press to his advantage and will shield his team from the media by taking on additional heat with a controversial topic or statement. He wants his team to continue to play with an edge and underdog persona so he brings up the barbs about not belonging in the tournament. Unless it's an immediate post-game press conference where he is still heated (NOT 10 GAMES) then I assume everything he does is a strategic chess move. I think it's refreshing and better than coach speak straight out of Crash Davis' cliche book. [/QUOTE]
