Eddren McCain

[Future Walk-On]

As you said in an earlier post about playing 8 but 9-12 knowing their roles when they get into the game-these are things I have noticed out of most of the S16 teams-(don't tell me about Duke). I try not to second guess the coach as I know what it is like to make those decisions but sometimes we have to change our thought patterns to see if something else works.
The UNI game in StL is a perfect example as the regulars were not doing anything so why not bring in a group off the bench to give some guys a rest and see if maybe someone from the bench can give you that spark that your rotation has not got so far.
I was never a Roy Williams fan until last year when he pulled his starters and sat & coached (talked to) them while the game was going on-never paid any attention to the play only the players he was talking to-including a time out-when they went back in (after about 5 minutes-in which the guys that were in had brought the team back from16 to 10 points down) they played so much better and understood (apparently) what he wanted and blew out the Dookies.

I watched that game. That was neat. He couldn't tell you one thing that happened during the game at that time.

it was not made known but Eddren really did have other injuries that didn't get reported, plus last fall when he was injured in Brazil, he suffered a torn tendon in his little finger on the right hand, and that's the hand that dribbles, passes, and shoots...
The injury left Eddren's little finger impaired and even though it's just his little finger - it plays a little part in all those functions.
