Yes, the “kids” should be “men enough” to acknowledge their shortcomings, just as the coaches have not given proper instruction/planning, especially on the ‘d’ side of the ball. However, the before these kids got to Lehigh, they know to tackle with shoulder and not reach with arms and hands. Yes, proper drilling technique over and over makes things more natural without having to ‘think’ about it. So I see it as a combination of responsibility. Athletics at this level is supposed to be part of learning experience. The “kids’ are facing a lot of adversity right now. Part of growing up is learning how to face such situations. We shall see.
