Utes act like Majerus is God for having the guts to bench players when they make mistakes and Rose is undisciplined for not. Cleve would bench players for mistakes and ruin their confidence. Rose has a good handle on it. He benched Jimmer against UNC and benched JT against Mich State in second half. That takes guts to bench JT against Mich State when he's maybe the one guy that can pull the game out if he gets hot and Cummard's out with foul trouble and all you have to replace him is Collinsworth.
Majerus was a lot more likely to bench a player for screwing up on the defensive end than he was on the offensive end. For all the criticism you give about Majerus on the offensive end, he had some pretty amazing offensive players. Keith Van Horn, Andre Miller, Michael Doleac, Hanno Mottola, etc.

Majerus only destroyed the confidence of players who were wussies.
