There was literally not a single thing Morman could do to move up the depth chart. It was determined that he was and forever would be behind KJ no matter what.

Which was 100% something he did to himself. Show people time and again that you can't be trusted, and they stop trusting you...
 
I think most of the fans watching him play also felt he should be playing more.
 
If the guys on the bench were more effective and did what coach said. ..they would get plenty of minutes. The coach would love to be running 10 deep with effective talent.

We have 7 guys who I think deserve significant minutes and can be a really good team if they decide to put 100% effort into play. I would use 3 others for spot/situational minutes which would not include starting or finishing games.
 
another example of fans not having all the pertinent information.

I don't know.....as a coach, I always tried to play my best players so that I wouldn't create bad attitudes. If someone isn't upset with not playing, I don't want them.

Mick told us numerous times that Morman was one of the best defenders on the team. What I noticed when he played was that he was about the only player who would consistently feed the post. Last year, something good usually happened if you fed the post.

L-T apparently there was more to the story. I always tried to play the players who earned the playing time and hoped that they were the most talented. I to wanted my players to cherish PT but it was earned not given.
 
Every player thinks they should get more minutes. A lot of fans think the answer is on the bench when things aren't going well. I don't think the answer is on the bench other than maybe the coach getting the most out of his players. ..that's his job. If he doesn't get the job done...he deserves less minutes.

What neither of us know is if the bad attitude resulted in not playing, or if the bad attitude was a result of not playing. I doubt that the media knows the real answer either. If the coach is telling that "in house" stuff to the media, then he's not a very good coach.
 
His attitude sucked and he was a constant pain in the rear end because he wasn't playing as much as he felt entitled to. He lost trust and wasn't getting it back...

No chance that he'd grow up a little after his freshman year? Was he a problem his redshirt year?

leaks don't always come from the coach. In either case there is no excuse for a bad attitude. There is a right way and a wrong way to handle every situation. You don't get to act a ass because you disagree with the person in charge.
