It’s the best tool a coach has at their disposal. Strong minded players use it as motivation.

He was always going to start Wagner, Mitchell, and Ugo.

Cal is FOS

On one hand he’s full of shit. We all know he makes promises and starts certain guys over others to fulfill those promises. On the other hand it wouldn’t surprise me if he is worried about breaking hearts. Sometimes men get older and get soft hearts. Happened to my dad. He’s killed more deer than you could count. These days he'd rather sit and watch them. Just doesn’t have the heart to kill them anymore. Making those promises could even be a symptom of his softness.

Comparing that to kids who see their life disappearing in front of them due to falling draft projections is very different imo.

Yes Cal should’ve still changed lineups.

 

[TankedCat]

the sad part is Cal doesn't even know when he is lying anymore. Its just a natural state for him

Some here literally think the team lost because Shep started. Sometimes you just can’t fix stupid.

If you’re not soft..the bench is a great motivator!

I admire that actually. But Cal should retire if that’s how he feels, because the position requires winning games by any legal means necessary. He would be a great agent, adviser, ambassador, etc and could change lives that way.

My dad too. When he was about 65 he shot a deer and when he got to it, it still wasn't dead. And was suffering. Put it out of its misery. Then cried about it. Never hunted again.

Out of the blue, his heart turned soft.

I wish Cal cared as much about not breaking the fans' hearts.

I agree 100%. There’s no room in high level college basketball for soft shit.

Good for him. As someone turning 80 next month I understand.

You all are hitting too close to the heart.

We don’t have strong minded players when one foot is out the door before they step on campus

 

[BlueWhite21]

No. It'll never break a heart, but it may break some guys hymens. Need make sure it's intact so when they get to the League.
