Walt Lemon Not Available to play in UNI game

[tornado]

His grandmother just died and he has left to be with his family..
I wish him and his family well in this sad time -- and GO Braves!

[Da Coach]

We will miss Walt with the team already so shorthanded. Another guy to help guard their guards would really help. Maybe we'll see Charonn a little.

A couple of the coaches are a little under the weather (Willie and JC), and so is Milos, but he will dress and be available. Everybody else (except SM and TB) is OK.

Milos never gets to play when he's healthy. Well he plays until he makes a mistake and then he doesn't play anymore.

This is when we can put things in perspective in that as much as basketball means, life and family mean much more...

We're sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you Walt

Somethings that annoy me.

1. AT, for example, will not play for 3 games...then play 21 minutes??????

I know he played ok....but that doesn't make sense to me. How is he supposed to get consistently better?

2. Like you said...our players come in, make one mistake, and get pulled for rest of game....I have never seen a coach do that on any other team.

Why does charon come in 5 minutes into the game.....then not play again? Same with MK.

Lucas O'Rear is also in street clothes and reportedly will not play -- some sort of disciplinary/team rules violation

Was he being too "BAD"....since he is their Bad Boy?

[tornado]

maybe he stole another girl's purse...like he did a couple years ago..

Our rotations normally make little sense.
On a previous coaches show, JL mentioned that AT needs to get lower in the post. A hook shot is a great thing 4-5 feet out, but not very good if AT gets pushed out 10 feet away.. Then AT played next to nothing that week

Then prior to last game(according to post game stories on PJS) JL had the 'realization' that our main guys were taking off too many plays because they knew they would have to play heavy minutes, so last game saw early subs with AT and MK.

So who knows what will be more important this game....
