In the 2nd quarter the coaches started making changes, adjustments and - viol'a - the better team took charge and eventually won BIG.
After the game I'm leaving and bump into an assistant coach and asked WTF happened in the first quarter. He said the team needed 'an attitude adjustment' and that the kids stopped listening to the head coach because 'they think they know everything'. So the coaches decided NOT to coach the first quarter and let the players play on their own. So, just as the coaches thought/knew, the kids found out for themselves that they don't know everything and actually need coaching if they want to win.
My Royal Point: Sometimes coaches know what they're doing.
With that in mind, from what I see in games and here from insiders, I'm under the assumption that Grant knows exactly what he's doing and will be patient (2 more years) as our players adjust to the way Grant wants to do things.

I agree with most of what you are saying with Grant's coaching but I think if this is really his philosophy he needs to get Frankie some more touch to start "figuring it out." Not playing him and then inserting him in crucial moments looks like it is hurting his confidence more than helping.
