[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1522622, member: 586845"] I never said anything about Kentucky specifically causing fans to act like that. Perhaps I should have said "because he chose someone else instead of Illinois" to be clearer. I take issue with people who seem to think if you don't thrive in year 1 then somehow you are doomed to failure. I take issue with people who think that just because a freshman doesn't produce as an NBA level in year 1, that somehow erases all of the potential they have. In fact, this is precisely the role of coaching: taking potential and turning it into results. For a guy with an upside as high as Whitney, sometimes all it takes is a different coaching approach. Sometimes it fails. Either way, acting like he is somehow spoiled goods at this point is ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
