[QUOTE="LouHenson, post: 1694188, member: 746834"] This is so important to our program. We are “cool” to an NBA superstar (much less a Chicago Bull superstar). This bodes very well for future recruits. I am all for pulling Kofi out with two fouls in the first half of any regular season game. But!!! I’m the NCAA tournament I hope that is not the strategy. Kofi is very smart I believe he can play 3-5 minute stretches without fouling. He has proved that his entire Illinois career. This game show where Curbello would have really helped. The “4 out” offense only works if you have Kofi to draw the double and triple team that leaves open shooters. Curbello can do much the same for the shooters with the drive and dish or PNR (if he plays under control). I also agree with many others, I would have left Payne in for most of the 1st half even if he got 4 fouls. You knew you were going to play Kofi 17 plus minutes in the second half if you were going to sacrifice the 1st half anyways? [/QUOTE]
