From the above, you can credibly argue that Randall > Jennings and yet Russell got at least 4x the playing time that Harris is getting.


I'm not arguing which got more PT...I know the answer. I'm arguing that in neither case were the reigns handed over to the guy most feel/felt was the better option. In the end, both seasons saw who most feel/felt was the stud left in the barn and not getting the most playing time possible for the next year and beyond.

Why is one coach crucified for this decision while the other gets a pass in retrospect?

The vast difference in how the two coaches treated the situation is a part of it. Russell play a lot and in "real" situations. Russell was also allowed to implode (Florida) but continue to receive significant playing time, laying the groundwork for his development. I would be more than pleased had Harris received something similar to the PT Russell received in 2004.
