A downfall of the lockout.  No time to practice is hurting all.

Most coaches are not quiet like the implication suggests, especially when
losing.

Speculation here.  No one blamed Fox or Wesley for losing, either.  It has
simply been a frequent opinion that we should have kept these players.

How is holding them accountable to their jobs treating them like kids?  How is
challenging a lack of effort treating them like kids?  These guys need
direction.  Pitino is the guy to give it to them.

No harm, just a differential of opinions.  Some like Pitino, some don't.  Some
are currently optimistic about the state of the C's and some aren't.  I think
all will feel better when the winning starts again.  Fortunately for us all, it
is right around the corner.
