Then the Bennett question from Wes Gilbertson was "did/will you discuss with Sam that the situation won't be a distraction". The first half of his answer was a perfect and professional response. Then he goes a different direction all on his own.

There was nothing asked about playing Sam at centre/wing or anything like that. Ward put that out there to ward off any criticism of his deployment of Bennett.

Seems defensive and insecure from the Head Coach. If nothing else this feeds a media story and thus increases the noise surrounding the team.

Then the healthy scratch and separation from the regular group sending s the media in a complete tailspin and creates all kinds of drama.
I honestly think the drama is just on here
