Translation: "The players fault"
Substitutions are 100% the control of the HC and can be smart, dumb, or nuetral; in game performance is in control of the player and can be enhanced, reduced, or nuetral based on a lot of things including development, training, focus, desire, effectiveness of Xs and Os, individual drive, physical capabilities, you name it.
Acker is kind of correct, you can't look only at substitutions in a vacuum as a cause for wins and losses, but if very smart or very dumb they can be primary contributors to a win or a loss.

“I don’t really believe that substitutions necessarily have to do with wins and losses,” Acker said.
