All of this with the obvious caveat that I'm not a coach and don't know what they're looking for.

I agree with most of what you post, with this key exception. I don't think the "reprecussions" are different for players. Coach seems to stick you up in the press box for everyone if he's not happy or feels you need to learn. That seems to be consistent, at least for the younger players.
What is clearly different IMO is "what" earns you that ticket to press box is clearly different for each rookie / bubble player. And as long as the coach or staff is clear with each player as to what they are looking for, then there should be no issue with that.
