    What you did isn't exactly getting in trouble for doing drugs and being disciplined for it though. From what he was saying these dudes were playing like ? and acting like idiots off the court.

    Seems like he's making a judgement based on 100% facts. What's the problem?

    Have no issue with what he said, just think it was the wrong place to say it. You don't always put your team's ? laundry out in public.

    I'd agree with that if this press conference was the first place he said that, but from what it sounds like, he's been going through it all year with those guys. It pretty much seems like he's giving up on those dudes, cutting his losses, and putting the public on notice. He pretty much said that there was nothing left to do with those guys and recruiting is what would get the program moving in the right direction.

    I'm not saying whether he's a good or a bad coach, but you got to believe that with some people at some point, you gotta just say "? it" and accept they ain't going to be ? .

    No doubt, or what he could have done was just kick the players off the team and take this year as a lost and come back next season with the sqaud that you feel will better represent the school.

    The way he's talking, the seniors are more or less the heart of the team. He's not just going to dismiss them all for being bad players. They are getting that scholarship money, so he's got to play him. If it was one or two of them, that would be one thing, but it seems like it's a significant portion of the team.

    I'm not saying he couldn't have kept this in-house, but clearly if he's ripping them like this, he doesn't care anymore and basically wants to get it on public record that those dudes are ? . If anything, he's trying to protect himself. Because if they play ugly game after ugly game, eventually that's going to fall onto the coach. So he's probably trying to pre-empt that and let everyone know it's the players.
