Now simmer down UD....nobody is saying anything about coddling.
If you're going to put a rookie on the court in a critical game and then chew him out for one mistake you have to give him a chance to earn your trust back. That's coaching psychology 101.
Chew him out? Yes, that's coaching. But making him a permanent resident in your doghouse wouldn't be a wise move for our future imo unless you do not value that player.
Some of those old battered legs might need some rest down the stretch and we may need Anderson again. He definitely has some skills we could use.
