It's also potentially toxic to locker room culture.  How do you preach winning culture to a locker room that's had a lot of recent success while simultaneously hoping for losing outcomes?  They can keep that shit out of here.  They're set up to lose plenty without any manipulation as it currently stands.  

Can you even imagine a coaching staff just saying "let's tank for picks" and what they would say to every backup in the locker room? Just flat out tell them you have no faith in them.
