Yep. I think it's pretty dumb to be so honest. You'll end up losing the team.
Those are the sort of things you can (should) talk with the players in the locker room. Talking openly to the media is just stupid. It's one thing when we say those things... but the coach cannot do it. Not openly, at least. And not as frequently as Nellie does it (it's different when a coach talks like that about a certain player after a bad game, but when he does it about several players and several times... that's a proffesional suicide).
Lose who? Dumbleavy, Foible, and Joe Barry Murphy? Thats, ritch... They've been lost for years...
Yeah, the problem is that criticizing some players may be a way to lose the rest. I mean, they get the feeling that if they don't play the way their coach expects, he'll be free to bash them on the media. After all, he's already done so...
