The thing I’m most sure it will do is give the players a lot of emotions for this game. If you look at a lot of the players tweets after the decision, you can tell the genuine respect they had for Coach Miles as not just a coach, but a man.
Over the summer, some of the players participated in the Black Lives Matter protest in Downtown Atlanta. A lot of college coaches would avoid addressing the issue because the discussions about it have been so controversial. The first thing Coach Miles did was tweet support for the guys marching amongst the masses.
