Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 4184360, member: 6797"] 1.) The press conference shots at Frank were disgraceful. I can’t add anything more than that. 2.) Before the season we were told that Jimmy would be a replacement for Marek in some regard. Unfortunately he is extremely different from Marek in that he won’t pass, isn’t good defensively and can’t rebound. When was the last time he took a charge? 3.) I don’t take pleasure in noting Jimmy’s deficiencies. He plays hard and cares. He is just asked to do too much by his father. If he played 20 minutes a game and was willing to be a contributor instead of an offensive focus I think he would be much more valuable. Also given his limited athleticism it doesn’t do much good to have him playing 30+ minutes a game so he is also tired. 4.) But given the fact that the NCAA tournament has been unreachable for some time now there has been no excuse for playing Jimmy 30 plus minutes a game. There’s no question Benny has been disappointing. But we have to give him experience and find out what we have. We can’t do that without letting him make some mistakes and stay in the game. And the fact that JBA hasn’t gotten a sniff all year is a joke. I don’t know if he is any good and that is the problem. At the end of the day you can’t tell me that those guys are any worse defensively than Jimmy and my guess is that they are both better. 5.) And yet JB criticized Benny and JBA’s defense yesterday but not Jimmy’s. 6.) The entire game was basically garbage time but Buddy’s play should not be ignored. He made some very tough shots although I could’ve done without JB waxing poetic on him after such a beatdown. 7.) I feel bad for the students and the crowd in general. They came up big time and deserved something to watch and cheer for. [/QUOTE]
