Pretty simple..you go with the defending champ. No if’s and’s or but’s.
im shocked Cael is letting these guys go after the Hall debacle.
That being said, personally I love it, compete against the best and lay it on the line. At least the Hall thing set precedence and now we know these matches will count in coaches ranking.
I just wish the coaches would also ding other coaches for ducking (see Schultz with headgear on last year, and Jones sending him back to locker room against Kerk)
