Obviously I believe that coaches have a lot of responsibility. Maybe its just a thankless job...
I guess what it ultimately comes down to in this case is that some players will be resilient enough to cope, and there is a possibility that others won't. As far as the ones that won't, I hate to think about this in such bottom-line terms, but I think the business viewpoint is that those players aren't going to be there very long anyway, so the organization is not going to cater to those sensitivities. Of course, whenever the coach decides that the organizational benefits of a fixed rotation outweigh the costs, they will move in that direction.
It's a cold world out there, ballsrchr. I get where you're coming from.
