@wissox83 I remain a solid DP fan. But I'm not sure it's a great thing if he came back. None of this was his fault... but I think Self made a huge error in over-promoting DP before the season started by saying he was the most-talented player he has coached.
All that praise created the situation where our other players felt obligated to let DP take over games (which translated to them playing laid back).
Competition and "team play" overlap. I'm not saying players need to over-compete against each other, but no one gets a free pass. Players like Melvin were very capable of stealing more limelight this year.
I'm not trying to create drama here... the impact was actually subtle but when executed, we all know what we saw.
I wish no ill will feelings towards any of our players or Coach Self. This was a learning experience. And now we know!
