I think there's always those type of meetings.
There's no question that the guys are slipping off to play golf when they go off to California or down to Florida.
They're trying to find a place to tee it up.
Yeah, again, I think anything that's going to take away, I mean, you're going out at night, you're going to a pool, you're going golfing, whatever it is that you're going to do.
But I also find, too, Scotty, that guys that, you know, they're professionals and they try to manage that.
So if it's the day before the game, maybe they're trying to manage what they do a little bit more as opposed to two days before a game.
Or if you get caught three days out in California and you decide you're going to go to the beach or something like that,
I mean, those are your own days and you can do what you want to do.
But I don't know.
I'd like to think that.
But I could just be naive, too.
You know what I mean?
I'd like to think that the players realize where they're at and count on them.
But I do realize, though, when the games are big, when some things are big, it's the responsibility of the coach to kind of jump in there and say, hey.
We got a big one tomorrow.
This is for first in the conference, or this clinches our playoff spot, or we're in the playoffs, so knock it off.
You know what I mean?
And hopefully they listen.
Yeah, I mean, it was a crazy week for sure.
You know, the best player thing in a GM, I think all that's going to work itself out, and I don't really have the input on that.
