Bill Self very publicly and very obviously called out several players in his presser yesterday, saying he was taking Lagerald VIck out of the starting lineup long-term. Self also said that Udoka Azubuike was not playing “to what he is, and that is the biggest guy on the floor most every night” while referring to Udoka’s rebounding.
Jesse Newell writes that what makes Bill Self so good is that he knows how to adapt his coaching style to motivate each individual player, but benching Vick appears to be a hail mary by a coach out of ideas.
