Remember back when the C's played the Hornets in the middle of April?  
M.L wasn't on the bench that night.  DJ coached the team.  Though they 
lost, the players worked real hard for him, losing by 5 without 2 
starters (Fox & Williams?).  I think it was this game that Walker had a 
triple double and Wesley got hurt.  I like Pitino as the first choice, 
but I wouldn't hesitate in giving DJ an opportunity.  I wonder if the 
reason some of these guys played as hard as they did wasn't because of 
DJ's influence.
