OK, maybe I get it. My sarcasm detector isn't always great. I'm a fan or Rick, right? Want me to be balanced and give him some criticism?
Here ya go...
1. Rick is a jerk sometimes. He's unnecessarily grumpy towards media memebers sometimes, and I wonder if that grumpiness gets aimed at players and hurts his relationship with some players. I've also heard him drop some amazing wisdom about how to respect and relate to people. So, there's that.
2. It appears that Rick employs a system that many players just can't get, or figure out how to fit into. We've seen examples of players that are lost in Rick's system who other coaches get more out of.
I can criticize the guy that I'm a fan of.
If I push back on other criticism I see it's not because I'm always positive or because I'm a Rick homer, or that I think all criticsm is Eeyore like. It's because I don't buy the arguments.
