Suppose he sticks with the big lineup and bad things happen. Then everyone screams "why didn't you go small, it's been working all series!!!! Bass was tired, why didn't you sub him out!!!" etc.

It's called hindsight people, and it's awfully easy to watch as things fall apart and just assume that because you can "see" the problem that you would have had the solution. It's just the nature of the beast - Doc can do a million things right and you don't even notice they are happening, but when something goes wrong, suddenly the coach made a bad call.

Not saying he's perfect, but I think this stuff gets rather irrational after the fact.


It's not like things fell apart in the last 2 minutes, the whole 4th qtr was a disaster. He admitted to making a bad call, it's not being unfair. It's not like I'm saying he's a bad coach or should be fired. But if a guy like me can see during the game that a particular lineup isn't working, then it's reasonable to think that the coach who knows a lot about the game should too.

As I said, Doc is a good coach, but I think he gets a little bullheaded with his subs at times.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Doc typicaly makes poor in game adjustments but excellent game to game adjustments from where I sit.
