One of MANY...We've heard and seen guys who get in the proverbial doghouse and can't get out.
Guy could have a breakout game and won't be heard from for weeks or the rest of the year.
He really practicing that bad week to week but just had a fluke Saturday afternoon?
Well...so what. Lots of players are game day players. There's lots of guys who were mr. all american Monday-Friday and shrunk come game day. Who wants that??
You learn to adjust your overall strategy to include what works best for the team to win without losing your standards.
Lots of coaches just rather not deal with a player like that and blame the player and move on...A great coach finds a way to get great players on the field while maintaining the team integrity. It's not easy.
