If Minor plays without solving this, team chemistry could be
affected.  In addition, Pitino is big on taking responsibility.  He
wants ALL of his players to display good character and morals.  These
are qualities he feels are essential to team chemistry.  Minor's
treatment of his family could also be seen as an indicator of his
attitude.

team with a good attitude both on and off the court.

True, children, when cognitively ready, should be taught by parents to
question what they hear.  On a different note, though, Michael does take
care of his kids.  He also displays a good attitude on and off the
court.
