I might be too harsh and I agree that we didn't get him the ball enough. We never get the center the ball enough. I'm just looking at his game to game, play to play consistency. He had a good game against Dayton and a poor game against W Mich and NC St in the tournament after he had dominated them in the dome.  He did have a good game against Duke in the dome but not at Duke. He was inconsistent throughout the year. I think he's gotten yanked more because of foul trouble and defensive lapses than because of a coaches temper. He's really played quite a bit more minutes than Baye averaging over 8 more minutes a game. Baye who is far from an offensive player averaged 50% also from the field. I just see so much potential in Christmas, the McDonalds All American, who is averaging only one rebound and one block per game over Baye in an extra 8 minutes of game time. Baye didn't start at Oak Hill if I recall.  I see glimpses of Rak's ability to be a dominating factor then watch him disappear. How many games were his minutes limited because of foul trouble requiring Baye to play?

I'm sorry if I came across harsh because I really think Christmas is key to our success and am frustrated by seeing his potential limited and play so inconsistent. I think the staff sees it too and why they are so focused on challenging him. They should have higher expectations for Christmas and he's shown he's capable just not consistently.
