A coach for saying something stupid is pretty, well - actually it's kind of low on the list. But it's on the list, and that list gets checked twice, if you know what I mean (I don't). Look, you may give rose a pass for everything he says or does because he's a pretty darn good coach - I dont. And I'm not upset, it takes a lot to upset me. So keep trying.
The bigger criticism here is on him inserting worthington in the closing 9 mins of the utah game, when he was getting exposed and kaufusi was doing well. There are things you could say to back up rose, but in my view it was a bad, and even fatal, call.
