    Looks like Juwan is in a boot according to Twitter. He got rolled up weird yesterday in a loose ball situation.

    personally I love watching a player develop over their 4 years in college. Now he is one of the best in the counrty. Denzel has had his ups and downs in his 4 years. Credit to the kid and to his coach for putting in the work to get better

    That's understandable but hearing the same thing over and over from the same few people gets really old and other posters/mods get really tired of seeing it. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people post Izzo endorsed Crean so he'd have an easy win or I have UK fans that feel sorry for us. I don't nor do I believe others want to read the same post day after day because some can't come up with anything else.

    Don't get me wrong I've never liked Crean and I'd still fire the guy even if he won a NC this season.

    I don't have faith in him but just because people don't have the same viewpoint as doesn't mean they will get this when they come here. I often ask myself how people can spew the same rhetorical hatred towards the man but it still happens.

    And I know for a lot of us our mothers would be the opposite. When my coach would bench me my mother was the first to say "you can sit there and cry or work your backside off to prove yourself." I'm extremely thankful for that upbringing and hope players/parents realize it's for the good of the team and individual. Prove to everyone and yourself you're that player Troy.

    Yea, but it was nice to see him driving to the basket and getting to the line.  He hasn't done that in awhile.

    The problem isn't even necessarily with the Facebook post itself (though it was bad), it's with the mentality Troy's Mom has in general. That's why the families do matter. Haven't you met a HS coach that couldn't wait for certain skids to graduate because their parents were awful?

    Crean was trying to send a message to Troy. How does that message play if the players mom is undermining Crean? Now the player is thinking "I got screwed", instead of "I need to improve". What if that player is now complaining to the other guys that got benched. Now you have a cancer infiltrating your locker room.

    It's just a bad deal all the way around. Parents need to support their kids coaches and teaches, not tear them down.

    Couldn't agree more regarding #1. That was absolutely ridiculous. (Which is to be expected from her, unfortunately) I actually felt pretty bad for Troy because in my experiences around him, he isn't like that at all.

    Crean changed his son's name to Tim at the request (but let's be honest, it was a demand) of MSB.
