Most of that seems to come from the other site for some unknown reason. Pretty strange actually
Funniest thing this morning was seeing a thread entitled: D'Angelo Harrison: 6th Man? Yes, we should keep the leading scorer in the BE on a team that cannot buy a basket without him and make him come off the bench to provide a "spark". Yikes.
I'll say this... yea BOTE's thread was ridiculous, BUT, and this is a huge BUT,
BUT, if we were playing better ball as a team and winning more, I would have a problem with some of the shots D'angelos taken recently.
I could care less about the "attitude" thing, if he crosses the line he'll get a T or coach will sit him. He doesn't cross that line much if ever. So that's a non issue to me.
But early in the season against some of our cupcakes, coach pulled D after hoisting up a 35 footer. He hasn't done that at all recently.
And just because he made that fantastic shot against Cincinnati doesn't all of a sudden mean it's cool to throw caution to the wind and forget about shot selection.
But right now I can't fault D'angelo for anything. Truth is he's played great - and he actually was giving up the ball a whole lot in the Rutgers game. Very unselfish.
I'm just saying it's a slippery slope. And, a fine line. Use whatever cliche you like, but taking a transition 3 when you have a teammate in good rebounding position is one thing... if you start jacking up shots though when you have a 3 on 1 break?? That gets you a seat on the pine in a lot of programs.
