A few thoughts on gracious proffesionalism by a rookie mentor...

I am sorry that you were disappointed but defense has always been a part of the game. You should have seen the defense played the three previous years, this year is very tame compared to that.

I see nothing about playing defense that is not GP. It's part of the game and is a valid strategy that has always been around.

As far as you golf analogy, defense in golf is a mind game, a good golfer like TW is looking for every advantage they can get including messing with their opponents heads. It's not all GP either.

I have watched videos of some of last years matches, and I believe that the behavior during some of those matches led to the rules this year to try to prevent some of that behavior. Once again, my opinion.
