Well, I guess sometimes the buck just stops here.
There's one factor which has been ignored. Lane's conduct over the last few weeks was detrimental to team morale and preparation for the playoffs. He wasn't really even in good enough condition to be on the sidelines against UW. There was really not any choice but to relieve him. It's no accident that the team gave a spontaneous standing ovation when the change to Sark was announced. So do I think that the result might have been different with a fully-functioning CLK the last several weeks, or, in the alternative, Sark assuming the reins earlier? Why, yes, I do...
