Is it the coaches fault that Tatum went 4-12 from the field and only had 15pts? Asking for a friend.
It's the coach's fault that he insisted on playing Kornet most of the fourth when he was getting demolished defensively and on the boards and provided nothing offensively to make up for it.
It's the coach's fault that he failed on three straight possessions at the end of hte game to put us in good positions to succeed and get a good look, either sitting on his hands and doing nothing or drawing up awful plays that got us awful looks.
And even if the players themselves (Tatum and GWill) deviated from the set play, that's still at least partly/mostly on the coaching staff (as well as the individual players), as it highlights that the coaching staff hasn't instilled discipline or accountability with the guys where they're willing to deviate from the coach's directives.
Get off the Joe wagon, Goldy. It's broken down.
