I have no issue with Daejon's play on the court, I think he's one of the hardest playing guys on the team and has been good in his career at Stanford.  But it is also important to note that this is not the first time he has been suspended/benched by Haase. I do not know what he did this time, but whatever it was made Haase bench one of his best players in a must-win game.

My issue is that if that's what Haase is doing, then he should just come out and say that. Stop couching it as "team cohesion" or something else. If they guys are breaking team rules then don't mince words about it.

It's a fine line; you don't want to air team's dirty laundry or throw a player under the bus, especially if you want to salvage a relationship.  I give the coach wide lattitute on how to deal with specific situations, but however they do so, I also hold them accountable for the end results.
