Coach Benches His Own Player Mid-Game - Tom Izzo Can't Believe What He's Seeing

I've been coaching and analyzing basketball for decades, and I've never seen anything like what Mick Cronin did to Steven Jamerson. The kid makes a routine foul - not even flagrant worthy - and Cronin humiliates him by essentially ejecting his own player from the game. Even Tom Izzo was stunned!⁣

But here's what really gets me: Why are you running a full court press when you're down 27 with 5 minutes left? Cronin never pressed when the game was close, so what's the point now? It's like he wanted to embarrass his team even more.⁣

This is a pattern with Cronin - constantly throwing his players under the bus publicly. That's not coaching, that's poor leadership. Your job as a coach is to protect your players, not humiliate them on national TV.
