A post on the internet expressing an opinion is likely not going to be presented with the same structure as a full lab report, of course
I would also suggest it is plausible that there is difference between a strong coach who is not a pushover, and one that Tre would view as a potential political or existential threat, and that naturally Tre probably would be much less interested in the second type

The biggest difference is he's not really looking at data. He's looking for patterns that fit his hypothesis.
For instance the hypothesis is the depth players are underperforming because of what the coach is telling them.
We know the depth players are struggling
What data supports it's because of what the coach is telling them? I suppose historic performance and their declines since being in Calgary? But there are several other factors that could be influencing that. Have those been examined?
Agree the standard is far lower for an internet chat forum, but I just think a lot of people are looking at things that suit their narrative.
We all do it. I do it. But let's be aware of this biases as they come into play.
