Teaching the kids how to be a better player is all part of development - it is important and necessary, including discipline and benching.
But there is another side to development as well. You have to give them opportunities to grow and develop.
Confidence is also important.
There are times for discipline. And there are times for opportunity and encouragement.
That is my problem with this.
They benched him last game. Nor there is a gaping hole in the lineup and a chance for him to run with it.
But they aren't letting him.
That is a failure IMO.
