Doug’s four-point stance: It’s not too early to question Trevor Cahill

TREVOR CAHILL
When is this going to end?
Don’t tell me it’s early. Cahill couldn’t pitch in the first inning last year. Cahill couldn’t pitch well at home last year. I don’t think after 13 months of struggles it’s too early to question when Cahill will get it right.
COYOTES
Monday night is proof why coming back in the playoff standings is so difficult. Coyotes were flat for the first eight minutes. Coyotes had a dumb luck/stupid own goal given up late, and that’s your game. If the Coyotes miss the playoffs, it won’t be “ownership’s” fault or the GM’s or the head coach or the fans or the refs.
NCAA
The finals of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships are supposed to be the best of the best. If those were the best officials in all of college basketball, the game has serious problems.
JOHN BEILEIN
It’s really sad to watch a coach completely choke away a national championship.
Of course you take a key player out for awhile in the first half when they pick up their 2nd foul. However, if the NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR — who attends a (supposed) respected academic institution — isn’t smart enough to play with two fouls, who is? Nine players played more minutes in this game than the NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR. The NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR did not play the final 11 minutes of the first half.
After butchering the first half, Beilein trumped himself in the second half. “I thought we were in the one-and-one.” Michigan had a foul to give and didn’t use it. Down by two possessions with Louisville inbounding from underneath the Michigan hoop, Beilein decides to “D-up” despite needing to foul twice to put UofL on the line. There were 52 seconds left, guaranteeing a loss because Louisville could run out the clock.
I have no idea if Michigan would have won with proper coaching, but I know Beilein’s decisions guaranteed a loss.
