have locker room issues and I'll show you a team full of guys who don't care.
The following list is true of all or nearly all teams from decent programs:
1. There are 105 guys on the team.
2. Most, if not all, of the guys were the best player (or top 5) on their high school team. That includes the walk-ons.
3. Most have healthy egos. The praise they have received for their abilities all their lives and the fortitude required to work as hard as they have to work pretty much require it.
4. All but a small handful believe they should be getting the ball more (if they play a skill position on offense), playing more, or having play calling account for their strengths more than it currently does.
5. With 105 guys, the coaches and GAs it would be impossible not to have some personality conflicts.
6. When the team is winning, the personality conflicts are a lot easier to smooth over or ignore. Shoot, in a marriage with two people it's easy to get along when things are going great. Introduce money problems or some other significant issue and the spouses start stressing out over how the other slurps their soup.
7. When the team is winning, the issues in #4 are much easier to smooth over (why complain when you're winning? what if the coaches have it right after all?).
8. When the team is losing, the issues in #4 get worse. "Why don't they give me more of a look? If I were at least playing instead of that idiot who keeps screwing up, we might be winning."
