I just don't want to start the season with a double digit loss to V-Tech because of our cacty post play from a bunch of inexperienced guys running around like a pack of idiots on offense and defense. I see no scenario where that helps us in the long run this year.
And
maybe our inexperienced guys (especially post players) are running around like idiots on offense and defense, in part, because of Curtis' lack of leadership in practice. And
maybe this is unacceptable to Frank.
I say 'maybe' because nobody on here knows anything about this. We don't even know whether Curt is even going to be benched. It's just prognostication being fueled by fear of losing. Words are words. Frank never said Curt wasn't playing. He said he doubts he'll play. That's a big difference, IMO. I mean, Russell played about 15 minutes through two exhibition games and in the post-game Conference Martin was talking about him not "buying in." Yet, on Friday, he started, played about 30 minutes of the game, and had 20 points.
IF, Curtis doesn't play, and we lose, I guess the only question is whether Frank did the right thing. And, my point is that there is no way to know the answer to this question until much later down the road.
