However, asserting it reflects badly on Haase no matter what Davis actually may or may not have done seems unreasonable to me. Certainly there are many scenarios where all parties made mistakes and bear responsibility. However, there are also some that involve only one party behaving improperly. I am not sure which case actually happened, but the idea that Haase could have and should have prevented the problem is not supported by any facts I am aware of either.
I don't know what happened, but I'm pretty confident that Haase contributed to it in some way. We're not talking about problems with one player. There are three players involved. That's much more serious and less likely to be an individual behavior issue.
I'm not saying Haase could have prevented the situation, but I think he handled it poorly. If players broke team rules then I think he should have said that. Plenty of other coaches do. Instead he referred to "team cohesion" which is nebulous and pretty meaningless because it could mean a whole lot of things.
