If a coach makes the usual call and it fails then he was "too predictable".
If a coach makes an unusual call and it fails then he was stupid for not doing "what every high school coach would have done".
And if a play works then it doesn't matter if it was a stupid call or not.
Exactly
And this is why i try not to play the hindsight game on play calls
But some calls just suck
