Alot of guys get the feeling that they can't do it, if they play poorly, when the start for the first time.
As far as what kind of confidence we are giving...
It's not that we don't trust him to start, but that Huard has earned it. Or, at least, that's what we let him believe. We owe it to Damon to afford him that opportunity. That and we want him to be "seasoned". Those goofy words tend to work, when the coach uses them to the young players.
