And the team has moved on. Great job by the staff.
You must never have been in a locker room or a work environment where a toxic employee wasted too much energy of the managers who could have spend their time trying to stay focused on trying to win (in sports or business).
It’s pretty clear you have no idea why Benny was dismissed or what the dynamics of this specific team were in the locker room. And that you have no clue what kind of teammate Benny was perceived as being by the rest of the roster. There is a lot more at play here than body language or what the pseudo psychologists here know or understand
Obviously we have different definitions of "teammates ". My team includes the coaching staff, you are just including "the rest of the roster".
Did not say he should not have been dismissed. There was no choice. Just saying that the primary reason for it has nothing to do with his perceived attitude on the court. The standards that Red expects from his players go beyond basketball.
yea they did an instagram live with him this week. he was hanging with Chris Bell. They've always liked Benny despite his issues. Is what it is. I think Bell and the other guys buying into Autry's desire pleas to play with more effort on both sides of the ball matter a lot more than Benny.
Yup. Benny will be their friend but no longer their teammate, and unfortunately won't be able to share moments like this. That's the difference.
You’re arguing he’s was not a bad teammate though which is clearly not true. You can be a bad teammate by the way you act and carry yourself around the game or outside of it if it effects your performance, practice, teammates, team, etc. you can do all that while still being a good friend or someone fun to be around outside of the game… how is this some novel concept.
I rely more on his former teammates and how they feel about him than what you've seen on tv. That's clearly more relevant. Nothing novel about it. Outsiders perceive things from limited exposure that may or may not be relevant and form opinions regardles of what the reality is. You won;t find a single member of the Syracuse basketball team including coaches or managers that wouls consider Benny a bad teammate, but several here are holding to that narrative with absolutely zero first hand information.
Why was Red reading from flash cards?
