No, I hear ya --- I'm just flashing back to the 'Great Angst' WRT RS'ing Odum, Kitchell, et al.
Granted it's a different sport but still, if the HC wants to RS a player, I am not going to question the coach.
Pre-Internet HC's put up with a ton of 'what in the hell...' they still do, it's just more prevalent/widespread today with NUMEROUS media outlets/tools.
