You mean when the building is loud, filled with goal horns and people screaming and applauding? Oh yeah, I'm sure the players will definitely hear those words of encouragement.

You're right, we also don't see him for the entire 60 minutes. We also don't know what all the other coaches are like because we haven't seen all 82 games x 31 other teams. Lastly, I'm not even convinced talking more on the bench helps if at all. 90% of the time, players look completely zoned out or are too focused on the play to even listen to any audibles.

I think the whole criticizing GG for the ipad thing and the lack of talking on the bench and even the way he does his hair is completely absurd. Almost downright laughable at times.
