Buck is a young player who is still learning (and presumably has a higher upside). It's good for him to have a demanding coach.
Kaye is a different kettle of fish - and I think it's perfectly valid for the coach to treat players as individuals, rather than treat them all the same way. Would criticizing Kaye make him play better vs. doing the same with Buck? I think Buck knows that he's being watched by people outside the club - Kaye is in a different place.
Porter shouldn't screw with the starting 11 he had for the last game. That was the best game they played all season. But you know he will.
He calls out Buck for giving the ball away but never mentions that about Kaye (who consistently gives the ball away)?
Porter has his favorites.
