Pretty dumb to be given a #3 pick by your boss and not try to play him.
Maybe Thomas' practices were no good. But, maybe Zgonina expected all the guys to play like he did. But yeah, in the end it's his job to realize that #3 pick's potential.
Yeah, whatever it is it's pretty dumb to not play the guy. If your boss gives you a #3 pick to work with you play that puppy to the ground and if the player doesn't improve or keeps showing bad production then you have showed your boss they made a mistake but the worst thing to do is not play him.
Why couldn't Saleh just tell Zgonina to play Solly more? Zgonina is the decider on all things related to snapcount? No way.
I would think you leave certain decisions to your position coaches. If not then why have them and how would they ever elevate in responsibility.
Position coaches teach their position. I would hope that the DC has the final say in who plays, and how much they play. And if the DC sees something that needs to change, for example more snaps for Solly, that the DC has the authority to make it happen. Why have position coaches? To teach technique and teach how to execute.
