RE: Sore points, Jackie - how about deep lacerations and no points?

["James A. Hill" <jahill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If Gaston agreed to let the basketball braintrust build around Walker and Pierce's perceived strengths, then that is what I want an owner to do.  I don't see where Gaston did the wrong thing when you look at the reality of the whole situation.

I just don't think these two guys are telling everyone/us how they are really trying to build this team.  So yes I do think they are CYA.

I think the conservative, neutered Gaston had a say in all this, either naive 
or calculated.  

That said, don't forget that after lucking into their Pitino-gifted, 
one-step-above-their-competence-level positions, that post-Pitino our 
Three Stoogesb" actually had the audacity to subtly blame EVERY previous 
move, including the drafting of Moiso, on Pitino.   

Talk about covering ass.
