re: Why do people on this board think they know better than the coaching staff?

it's not always about who is more talented and even when it is, players are sometimes better in practice than in games.

Let me first say I appreciate this discussion with you. With that out of the way, we have to distinguish between conditions that make a correct decision more challenging, and those that make a seemingly incorrect decision a correct one. This example is the former. Robinson was the right call when inserted into the lineup (with due regard for him needing to be coached up, let's assume the trigger was pulled on him at the optimum time). It would have been an incorrect decision if, when inserted, he was terrible. So there are some fine differences.
