I still would have loved to see what Wally could do facing up more. Oh well.
From all that I've heard I think it's pretty obvious Wally has had some emotional issues likely tied into ADD he's been dealing with. His life will likely continue to be an up and down struggle until he finds the best way for him personally to cope with those issues. That's almost certainly why both him and Frank thought it was best for him to step away from basketball for the time being. The girl thing may have forced the matter a bit and been a part of the issue but no way was it even close to being the biggest problem.
Fatty's right, in some cases, quitting is alright. People need to realize there's probably a lot more going on here.
