Worst fictional coaching decision in movie/TV show

Idiot Irish coach putting in dipshit Rudy.

 

I never understood why the entire team just didn't stand up,and say "hey dumbass, you're the one who made the stupid call."

Plus, now that you think about it in today's world, the coach would be in deep shit for refusing to let the kid ride the bus home.

 

More management than coaching, but the Peaches dealing Kit Keller really came back to bite them. I know clubhouse chemistry was a concern, but Rockford easily wins the series with her on the roster.

 

Very true. Although the Racine manager nearly blew the final game by having Kit pitch to her sister instead of intentionally walking her. Granted, it would have moved the tying run to second base and put the go-ahead run on base, with two outs. But why pitch to the best hitter in the league?

 

More (course) management than coaching: a 12 on the final hole of the US Open, Roy?

 

I'll take Coach Taylor not teaching Jason Street any proper tackling techniques.

 

Morris Buttermaker pulling Amanda Wurlitzer from the game and replacing her with Rudy Stein. How do you not try out Kelly Leak in that spot? Yes, it leaves the outfield vulnerable but I have to believe no one gets a ball out of the infield with Leak on the mound.

Bud Kilmer's sheer reluctance to run the oopty-oop.

 

Speaking of that, did anyone else find it a bit far-fetched that fans wanted Taylor fired after he lost a game in which his All-State quarterback was paralyzed from the waist down in the fourth quarter?

 

Either D'Amato should have benched Willie Beamon right away for changing the playbook, or he should have rode him all the way to the playoffs.

 

Why was Jake Taylor hitting second in that line-up?

 

Getting back to the argument about the play call, I believe (although I'm not sure) it was only 3rd down anyway so the playcall was screwed up two or three times: if they take the intentional safety they win, if they do the victory formation kneel down play they win too.

 

They only had 6 players: Hayes, Taylor, Dorn, Cerrano and the two pitchers.
