Teacher: "Why'd you miss school yesterday?"

Student: "I didn't miss it. I was absent, but I didn't miss it"

Terrible analogy. I know what you mean but terrible analogy.


Teacher: "Why'd you skip school yesterday?"

Student: "I didn't skip school, I came to school check with attendance."

but in all acutality they skipped the class hanging out in lunch. lol.

It's all a play on word. Just like Lawyers. lol. but there needs to be communication. The coach needs to inform the players of his intentions. Then not go on Tv and blame or name or throw under the bus players for their performance. Good coach's in my opinion are the ones that don't do that and point out that the team did not perform. If Zorn wants to keep using the "Execution" word fine but be vague as to who's not executing. Simply say the play didn't go as I planned it. Point out what the end result of the play was supposed to be and move on.
