Yeah I think ‘trigger events’ in some way indicates an expectation to lose
May not be saying this exactly right but this group folds and looks to ‘know’ they are going to lose. That to me is what a losing culture is - I do not see an expectation to win coming from the program.
That’s just an opinion and intangible mostly so I could be wrong, I’m not there day to day, but they just don’t exude a winning aura to me.
And that’s not to say they don’t play hard - I think they do - they are trying - but consistent collapses by the entire program staff and players is more than just stats and data - there’s an atmosphere involved in winning, in finishing.
And they don’t have it yet.

I knew as soon as King fumbled that we were going to lose**
