What I take issue with is this idea that some players are "okay with losing."

No accomplished athlete is OK with losing but some hate losing a lot more than others. That's indisputable IMO.
If Treliving is in fact saying tha players need help in channeling their emotions, then the head coach is obviously toast. But I think he may be insinuating they need some different types of players. Or maybe both.
But if we start trading talent for grit and competitiveness, we're in trouble.
