While it COULD mean the same thing, that's not what he said if you ask me. It simply could have been a matter of rust for XW.

Come on Gazoo. Read between the lines a little bit. No coach is going to say he benched a player especially AG. Instead he kindly said he "wasn't putting himself in position to help the team" which translates to I've benched him because him because his (performance/attitude/something else) currently isn't good.
