Couldn't it be a mix of both.Its hyperbole in my humble opinion.
Like I said before this looks a lot like Yakupov ver 2 where we point the finger at everything (and everybody) but the player himself.
Jesse has a lot to adjust to and the solution for all he has on his plate isn't to point the finger at TMac.
Jesse doesnt even know the fricken language...he said himself that he hasnt adjusted very well and wants to make the adjustment a priority.
So perhaps the coach recognizes that he just isnt ready and that Jesse has a lot to attend to before he is given the toughest minutes on the team with the best player.
Sounds a lot more plausible to me that suggesting that the coach is getting in the way of the players success.
Yakupov being thinned skinned and not listening and coaching not treating him fairly either.
I think the worse thing with Pulju is he doesn't understand English well so in a game, if you sit him for making a mistake that was minor that other guys are doing worse and aren't getting sat, he may not understand why.
I am not saying the player is completely not at fault, I think he has a lot to work on. That said I don't think he has been treated completely fairly either. Wasn't he told to find a place to live here and then a few days later gets tossed on a plane and sent down?
