No but could it be that Cal should have given Humphries more minutes earlier in the season? Perhaps some of Skal's minutes? Can you admit that maybe Cal was mistaken in not giving Humphries more minutes? I mean if Ulis thinks he should play, maybe Cal should have done things differently. Can you admit that? At least consider it? I doubt it.
Everyone else is operating under the assumption that the HOF coach, whom Tyler professes incredible admiration for, is able to notice the vast majority of these types of things on his own.
Therefore, Occam's razor dictates that
A. Humphries' situation is evolving over the season and they're looking for ideal matchups
is more likely than
B. Dumb ol' Cal with his big dumb brain just can't conceive of the advanced Xs and Os that cause Tyler to want Humphries to play more.
We make the most logical and simplest assumption, A.
You, on the other hand, are emotionally attached to concept B - any time there is an opportunity to interpret anything as a case of Cal being a drooling retard, you immediately seize on that interpretation, and rush to the board to tell everyone that you think so (whether passive-aggressively working up to it like in this thread, or your bold proclamations made right after every single loss).
And you know what? If you tell us that every missed defensive assignment, every shot clock violation, every lead that goes from 20 to 10 means that Cal did something stupid, occasionally you'll be right. But again, you're not playing the odds to blame every mistake made by an 18 year old on the HOF coach with one of the most successful careers in D1 history.
But I don't know why I type all this, because you're going to continue to straw man those of us who disagree with you "you guys will never admit Cal makes mistakes", even though we admit it in every post and only object to your
defaulting to blaming our HOF coach for everything that goes wrong.
And you're going to continue to believe that the guy that Tyler Ulis idolizes, that Bilas and Greenberg and Izzo and Donovan etc insist is a monster coach, the guy who brought two different mid majors to final fours and who beat the '96 cats under RP with two high major recruits... you're incredibly gonna keep insisting that he's in over his head, that he just can't wrap his poor dumb brain around the Xs and Os. I just don't understand what is broken in your head. It's maddening.
