Chum mentioned in another thread that publicly making statements that most people make in private, might be oscar's way of motivating Nino....I assume Chum means that this is the last attempt that oscar is making....like nothing else has worked.
Huggins was milder with Jason Bennett, but it was still a public "call out." IIRC, Huggs was pretty fed up with Jason at that point, and the public call out was his last attempt. But, Jason was a freshman at the time. It's strange to do that to a senior.
