Excuse me, but you need to read better, or maybe you don't know my series of posts.
When Buddy was a frosh and started his career 1-22 or something like that, I was among his first defenders, saying "Buddy has great form, he's going to win games for us this year.  Give him some time."

I am also on record, many times, saying Buddy is an elite shooter.  His dad doesn't have to PROVE that to anyone.  Everyone knows Buddy's got game.

But if you have been watching, there was no reason in hell Buddy should be playing 35 minutes every night.  Especially when he's having a terrible game and there are other legitimate options on the bench.

If Buddy - OR ANY PLAYER - is having a crap game, they need to sit for a while.  Every coach at every level of the game seems to know this, if you ever watch any basketball other than Syracuse, or if you have ever played the game, or coached the game.

If a kid is having a bad game, you don't usually keep playing them.  Buddy is being undermined by his Dad.  Buddy is a legit player who could help a team win a championship, but Buddy is not an All American.  Buddy is a very very good college player, but he's not Steph Curry.  He's not Klay Thompson.

So treat him like a MEMBER OF THE TEAM, not your goddamn son.
