"Sounds like a bunch of NBAers - which is why I don't watch pro basketball btw - exactly the type of kid being recruited by Hewitt."

I was referring to the NBAers - one and done kids who are only concerned about their minutes.

Where has it said Favors is worried about his minutes?  Or is that just an assumption you made?

Have no idea who it is, but whoever it is, Hewitt recruited them!

To my knowledge, the complaining about 'minutes' is new this year, so I think it is safe to assume that the complaints are coming from at least one (or perhaps several) of the new kids.

Or someone who is playing less minutes than they were last year because of a new crop of freshman.  I have a hard time seeing it be a freshman considering how much they play

+1

I was happy he showed his frustrations and didn't give the same crap coach speak that fans are fed up hearing/reading.

The stuff about letting the ball bounce, no lob passes on inbounds plays, etc. that he said he has been preaching for years - he is either completely full of **** or the guys just don't listen. I, for one, believe it's the latter. He sounded sincere and exasperated. I mean, Bell is a 5th year senior. What the hell was he thinking making those horrible passes and failing to run the baseline effectively?

But it is Hewitt's responsibility to get through the team. He said he has a suggestion box and some people laughed, but it's not funny. The leader of the program needs to get his point across to the players. If he cannot, that is squarely on the coach.

After 10 years, he has had enough time to get his point across. Why is it that GT fans put up with this crap? (Me included in that--the UGA loss didn't even do it for me, it was the NCSU win that finally woke me up. We will rarely, if ever, be better than this with PH, and this isn't good enough.)

I know, and I agree with you. I said, regardless, it is his job to get things across to the players. Like you said, he's had plenty of time to tweak/adjust his approach if he finds the words aren't getting through. I totally agree.

Totally agree as well Disgusted. I'm just saying that I'm glad he's pissed and is finally calling out his players. That's something I haven't seen from him EVER. Believe me, my opinion of CPH is well documented on this board. I am not in favor of Hewitt usually.

I started doing something last season that I'd never have considered before - betting against GT in hoops.  As Tony Soprano might say, "it's not personal, it's business".  Some of the easiest money ever and this year has been just as good.  If I can only bankroll $7M, then I'll be able to solve our problem.
