Yes, and the other 5 played on teams that had winning records.

Any conversation with the words "Joe Girard" and "defense" is completely pointless.  That he was
the best defensive guard on last year's team, at least who played more than 15 mins a game, is a
joke, as who he beat was equally as bad.  There was no guard who they have played over the last
few years who has said, "Oh, thank heavens they're playing zone, because I wouldn't know what to
do if Girard or Buddy was covering me."  They both stink/stank/stunk at defense, and that might 
have something to do with the record over the last four years having the most losses in a season
by JB and (twice) the third most.  He used to value defense; shockingly, that changed with the 
arrival of Buddy, at least as far as the guards went, because he still called out the Fs and Cs for 
not playing enough D, not getting to the shooters, etc.

I think if he gives the same leeway to others as he's excused for Joe/Buddy, I think guys like 
Benny could have good seasons.  But if he's going to give carte blanche to Joe and only Joe,
there will be many who aren't pleased.
