[QUOTE="mattcoldagelli, post: 1343588, member: 11524"] Mother of god, there aren't enough pearls in the world for all you clutchers. I remember Bruce Weber - the guy who refused to say Derrick Rose would be a starter - going on The Score and running down Demetri McCamey and his family. I remember the same guy denigrating Dee Brown's NBA potential out of craven self-interest. And I'm sure I don't need to remind everyone of the time he sat in front of the media and wished he had Purdue's players instead of the guys he recruited. Every single one of those instances struck me as grosser violation of trust than what happened today. I wish THT could've played here, especially if that's what he really wanted, but he gets a clean slate at arguably the second-best program in the Big XII, and he's probably going to have a great career there. Those Weber shots were delivered after our guys had signed up, in some instances after they'd played for him for YEARS. And when push came to shove, he turned them into excuses for his inability to get the job done. All you "old-timers" apparently had no issue with that. Because Bruce would never tell a recruit "what he wanted to hear" or "play the game" in Chicago amirite? [/QUOTE]
