If the players didn't get bent out of shape with regard to the player usage and assignments that we saw last year then I'd say there would be an even bigger issue. The majority of the players are competitors that are more invested in the game than anyone. They had to sit there and watch what was happening on their own team, knowing it was a recipe for failure. As fans, we were losing our minds about the opportunities Brouwer was being given. How would it feel to know that in clutch situations, your coach is looking down the bench and likely thinking it would be a good idea to throw Brouwer out there.

People talk a lot about how smart Gulutzan is from a technical perspective. I don't get it. I've watched his presentations. There's nothing ground breaking. I've watched his teams. Average at best on all accounts. 50/50 which his teams play more like 30/70 with a lack of a forecheck. Everything about him screams "average."
