....really want to hear JL's reason for sitting TW. He was busting his b@lls and is about the only guy out there with any passion. He got frustrated...well I wonder why.......I HOPE to heck he doesn't say he was sending him a message. If he did, or does I know what MY response would be if I were TW.

I wouldn't think TW's response would be much really. He's on the tail end of a career here. He needs to quit thumping his chest after every basket and just play the game. He tends to to react to most of his fouls....emotions are fine but they need to be held in check sometimes -

My Quote from the other post.
I just don't know what Jimmy wants from the guy
He is the only guy giving 100% and playing out of position. He's playing against players a lot bigger most nights and often just goes on just heart I feel his fustration and he is starting to show it
There is no team in the the MVC that can match up to us the whole game, if our bigs come to play! BU will win the the MVC this year!Comment

don't get me wrong. I love TW too but....one man won't win games. You still, no matter what have to trust your teammates. sometimes he tries to it all himself and while he's good he's not that good.Originally posted by Out of Bounce View PostMy Quote from the other post.

He plays with passion and I do love that but he has to know when to tone it down and running around the court complaining about the call is going to get you a T and that just does not help the cause.houstonbraveComment

In the case of tonight, the foul that came before the T looked pretty obvious so I don't know what there was to complain about. He is supposed to be a leader on the team and from what the announcers said (they could be wrong I don't know) I guess he got on Roberts case about playing in control of your emotions and then he goes off. The game was out of hand and I don't have a problem with JL benching him for the rest of the game. To try to see the silver lining, at least that is 9 minutes that are off his legs and maybe he'll get a little more rest going to Creighton.Comment

I like guys with heart! However, and I might be wrong, the game was out of hand and the T was his 4th foul. As a coach, why would I risk my best player getting a 2nd T and in big trouble?!? My guess is if we had made some sort of run at the end and really closed the gap, then TW would have been back in there.Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope.Comment

Would that necessarily help the team, or just make you feel better as a frustrated fan?Originally posted by dogsrus View Post
He was on the bench because he wasn't constructively using his passion to help the team. He was selfish. Most of the time he's great, but last night he crossed that line into NBA player tantrum territory after the foul and Les did the right thing to get him out of there.Comment

Why does Dave Draucker always seem to get mentioned in the article when he covers BU games? Seems like he is always at the center of something.Comment

The only times i've really noticed TW getting really worked up is after he doesn't get a call
Last night he had double team under the hoop, got fouled...didn't get called...very blatant missed call. very frustrating
next he gets called and then T-ed up...I understand that frustration.
similar stuff at ISU the other week.
I love theron and his attitude is the only thing that keeps bradley going at timesGloria: Who's side are you on?
