I have to agree, Alex.  I was intending to write a post saying that those 
asking for Turner to play more were way off base.  He's looked awful to me 
since the real games started, but I thought it was just nerves and he needed 
time to settle down.  After all he was always understood to be a long term 
project, right?  Apparently Pitino has seen enough to decide Turner's not 
going to make it on this level.  It is so surprising, and out of the blue, 
though that I wonder if there wasn't something more to it.  Some attitude 
issue or something.  I don't know, I'm just surprised.

Jim
