Yeah ,I've been of the minority opinion on this ALL ALONG,been round and round with people who are certain we would have won that game if ONLY.
A lot though of why I go along with Martz has to do with a basic phylosophy of coaching I have.
In medicine they take and oath that starts out "do no harm" from that I take it that a coaches FIRST responsibility is to NOT LOSE the game.
Eliminate the worst thing that can happen first and THEN build on that. Stay in the game.
How's that thing about pilots go?"There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there aren't many OLD BOLD pilots".
Like my old friend Nick Purler sez about the first period of wrestling ,"I score or nobody does".
Martz took the chances he had to take to get back to nuetral once there the cooler head was dictated ,he chose to contain his impulse to go for it and decided to"do no harm",I can't fault him for that and certainly don't consider it dumb. I am sure he had a better grasp of his teams capabilities there than anyone in the stands imagines they had.
No coach goating for me there.
