There is almost zero question about Buddy's shooting ability. He has good size for the top of our zone. As a coach's son (not the coach's son), he presumably will play smart. As[B][I] the[/I][/B] coach's son, he will presumably be ahead of most other frosh on knowing how to play the zone.

He played at a high level prep school, so he has experience against relatively high level competition.

There is absolutely no reason to think that Buddy will not be a very successful player in our program.

How big a role he may have as a frosh may be somewhat out of his hands. In other words, if we get enough three point shooting from others, Buddy's freshman year court time may be limited. However, if we end up needing more three point shooting, he just may carve out a larger niche than many on this forum are anticipating for him.

In terms of the question as to whether or not Jimmy will treat Buddy the same as other players, I think that is an impossible thing to ask of Jimmy. I actually expect Jimmy to demand more of Buddy than he will of most others. I expect Buddy to fulfill those demands.

Now in terms of Buddy getting the same quick hooks we so often see Jimmy give to younger and/or bench players, I am not sure if it will be exactly the same w Buddy or not, but what I will say, is that Jimmy will coach to win, and PT for Buddy will not get in the way of that.
