Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2877052, member: 127"] Not true. Defensive lapses are handled more harshly than offensive ones unless it involves defiance. Do some players get more leeway - yes - if their positives greatly out weigh the negatives. Heck I remember Melo sitting because of defensive lapses particularly early in the season. Would he sit more than Kueth Duany, Josh Pace etc for the same transgression - no -of course not. Heck when Hop played, he knew that if he messed up defensively, played poorly that he’d sit more than Moten or Dave Johnson etc. The players get opportunities to play but it’s in practice that the kids develop. Games are the venue they show their development and ability to execute. [/QUOTE]
