You're missing my point. Nobody's arguing that Walker is a better player
than Fortson, and should be out there as long as possible. The point was,
Pitino's favorites get away with the same stuff for (the slightest
perception of) which he comes down like a sledgehammer on the players that
are not among his favorites. With Pitino, the principle apparently is, "quod
licet Iovi, non licet bovi".  And that's a problem.
