Listening to the 32 Thoughts Podcast now and Friedman says that Cooper wanted his guys and that came at the expense of Bennett. Sucks that everything is political, even in sports. Especially in sports. Can't tell me Cirelli and Hagel are going to be more impactful in a similar role. I get giving the coach a choice makes sense, but there should be something along the lines of, "you can't choose your own guys". Seems like each year these choices come up there are always dubious management choices with players that shouldn't be there.
