Well, you had me in a weakened state. The post by TBone really pissed me off.

At least I can see your point about JB and the Press, although I don’t agree with it.

This was way beyond that. Jim knows this is a minefield he’s walking around in when he gets press questions about Buddy. But everything I have heard from him is measured and accurate. And for a person, who considers himself a fan, to challenge that on the basis of nothing is revolting.

Part of the problem I think is that the Press and the fans just are completely unused to and unprepared for an honest, no-spin assessment from a coach.

Where else do you get stuff like “Frank cannot get by people and when a team guards you that closely, you have to get by them.”

Instead of being interested or even grateful for the straight scoop, they are horrified apparently preferring the pap they get everywhere else.

JB is probably giving the audience to much credit for understanding the game. Anyone who watched Frank struggle against FSU could see he was ineffective. Did he go to the basket even once?

What’s JB tell the Press, Frank played great or his ankle still bothers him?
