When a coach talks about losing because of "execution," it's just a fancy way of saying: "Don't blame me, the players screwed up my perfect plans."

But if the players aren't executing whats wrong with saying it? He has never called out a player by name and is also quick to praise players when they do well. If professional athletes can't handle critisim then they probably aren't guys that are going to help you win.
