Doug Gottlieb is pushing back on the narrative surrounding Green Bay’s heartbreaking loss to Robert Morris, saying the viral chair-throw has overshadowed what really mattered: his team’s progress and the late-game mistakes that cost them a winnable matchup.
In the aftermath of blowing an 11-point lead in the final minutes, Gottlieb addressed the now-viral clip head-on. He took full responsibility for the outburst, calling it an emotional reaction that distracted from the strides his young roster has made. While national coverage has zeroed in on the chair incident, Gottlieb emphasized improved execution, effort, and competitiveness that put Green Bay in position to win before late mistakes flipped the outcome.
This video breaks down Gottlieb’s response, why he wants the focus back on the Phoenix’s development, and how he plans to turn the tough loss into a teaching moment for the team.
