Re: Billups

["Geoff Dacosta" <dacosta@sas.upenn.edu>]

Call me old fashioned or whatever else, but is it really fair to 
judge Billups or anyone else based on less than twenty regular season 
games? As someone else wrote, this guy has the right attitude.  How 
many players would complain to the press after being removed from 
running the team? Billups has remained composed through all of this.  
Those of you who saw him play in college know how he carried the 
entire Colorado team on his back. That was a team that never did 
anything prior. Let's give this guy a little time.  Pitino's not out to win 
the championship this year. Pitino knows what it takes to win, and a 
guy with Billups' natural ability doesn't come along every day. 
Success will definitely be in the C's future if they stay patient 
with the rookie.
