This was a must-win game though, and you can't let the rookie just learn from his mistakes when it was so close. If Matthews had sucked again, then I'd be a little more irritated.
And it isn't like Anderson didn't get a chance. Rick just called him out for sucking when the team needed him.
Oh and Salah, the rookie, got his shot and made the most of it. If he had sucked, then the team loses big time. So in many ways, Rick getting mad at Anderson is a sign of respect because the team needs him not to suck when called upon.
I'd even go as far as to say that this was Rick's best coaching of the season.
