        I meant to say that Pitino needs to give him a role.  Once a role is
established, then things will fall into place.  Pitino is struggling giving
him a role, when it's clear to this group, that McCarty and Williams role's
should be placed behind Fortson's

        Kevin McHale was a 6th man for a few years before he started.  Could
he have started on another team? Absolutely.  Did he?  No.  Fortson could do
the same thing.  It's about loyalty and winning, not how much money you have
in your wallet.  Fortson is more important to this team than McCarty will
ever be.
