If I were Lloyd, watching Love shoot a 3PT runner with more than enough time to get into his usual 2-3 dribble midrange pull-up?

The next dead ball would have sent someone in for him to we could have a conversation.
Love said he wanted to be coached hard?
I would have ripped him in half right there on the sideline.
No, you don't get to walk past me Caleb.
Stand here so I can grill you for 2-3mins, and then I am going to let you marinate on the bench until the next media timeout.
Then I turn and ask you, "Are you ready to play now?"
That would have lit a fire under his *** so big he might have came out and torched the court!

None of that happened, Arizona lost and we are sitting here again wondering when Arizona is going to get back to an Elite Eight after Lloyd has had two teams that were good enough to make it that far.
That "C" word is beginning to come into conversation when talking about Lloyd.

Same conversation he should have had with Bos.  Spot on Mike
Boswell is another prospect that usually needs to get a nice timeout during games.
The part I do not understand is by NOT grilling them when they make mistakes, that lets them know that they have a longer leash and are not going to get yanked when they make mistakes, BUT there has to be a level of goofy when you need to get yanked.
I believe they need to know there is a line between making a SMART basketball move, and you just out here doing some doofy stuff you saw on 2K.

As a head coach, you have to be aware of the appropriate time to kill a kid's confidence. Ripping him on a big stage and pushing him into an "I don't care" attitude wouldn't help when it's your last game of the season.

Should Lloyd do that earlier in the year?  Yes...and he did wi try multiple players on multiple occasions.

Similar to Trier, Robinson and the staff recruited a kid that wants to make big plays in big games. It's a double edged sword that killed Arizona in the end.
