Clearly Stanford had some issues with personnel and "team cohesion" at the end of the year.

That's one way to put it.  Stanford imploded is another.  We lost the last five games in a row, taking us from "the bubble" of the NCAA tournament to out of the NIT.  We lost by 18 to a Cal team we had beaten by an average of 10.5 points in the two previous games.  We lost to a WSU team we beat by 15.  We went from beating Washington 91-75 to losing to the Huskies 79-61.  We didn't have "some issues, we collapsed.

The "team cohesion" collapsed. I don't know the details, but it appears that some of the guys just quit playing without leaving the team. Da Silva was hurt, so that was the "issues". The inability to play like anyone cared was a different issue. Beating Cal didn't require our "A Game". It probably required just our "C- game" and we couldn't deliver even that. However, previously the Stanford team with three starters out defeated a lot of the teams in the PAC-12 that they were not expected to defeat. Was it the other teams playing their "C Game"? Did Stanford deliver their "A Game"? Perhaps, but that was my point. This year nobody was very good or consistent, Stanford especially.
