And I guess it is that that causes me to come off as a "coach defender", whether it be fredi or Cohen. I understand that SOMETIMES the obvious play to the fan isn't the rite play for your players in that specific situation. I also understand that when those decisions repeatedly don't work it rests at the foot of the head man. But nobody knows their players like a coach...nobody. And that fact plays big with me.

And as I type your boy comes thru with a missile! Grilli will have a shot a redemption it would appear.
As a coach, I'll let you make it for taking up for your brethren.

I called terdo though, didn't I? Haha
