yes you made all these negative posts the last six years when we went to the tourney every year.
No, he's the opposite of a leader. Leaders don't call out their teammates, without naming names, to the press. Scream all you want in the locker room or at practice - but talking to the media about your gripes about your teammates is selfish and self-serving.
oh cmon he's just stating the obvious. he bit his lip the entire year and gave a pretty vanilla quote. no big deal.
Naming names would make it worse.
He didn't name names so he didn't take any direct shots at teammates. He is sending a message that certain people need to buy in more and give better effort.
I think he voiced some frustration, which I can appreciate more than someone who pretends everything is great or really only cares about personal stats and not W's & L's.
Hopefully Wigginton, Shayok, Solo, Babb and Talley are sick of losing and ready to take it up a few levels next year with the help of some talented freshmen.
Right, but things get dicey when guys that are part of the problem start making comments. Prohm has a lot of work to do this summer.
Am I crazy or did this used to be a board you could express an opinion without being insulted?
I watched the game last night, just looked at the box score. I didn't realize Beverly had 15 rebounds.
Why do you think Wigginton is part of the problem?
Frankly, even if he is part of the problem, he at least realizes there IS a problem. That's progress.
God no. Opinions are never welcome here unless it’s about how great things are and how we will be Big 12 champs a year from now.
Because he’s part of the team. More specifically, he’s the highest usage guy with a significantly low efficiency despite being very talented.
He’s part of the problem. Hopefully he’s also part of the solution.
He's also a freshman that has been shoved into a role (point guard) that he clearly wasn't ready for.
So you'd rather no one say anything about the effort and listening to the coach since they are all part of the problem?
He's had some nice games I've appreciated that he just keeps playing no matter what role he's supposed to fill or how much he is or isn't playing. Can't say I've gotten the impression that he's ready to be done.
And many of the others have reasons for poor play. The position change to pg was inconsequential as the usage and low efficiency marks were bad prior to that. We’re not talking about kicking them off the team, but accessing what needs to change. I suspect Wigginton will.
I don’t care that Wigginton made the comments, but I don’t think the narrative is correct. People like CW that eat up the remarks and spend time analyzing Lard’s facial expressions or perspiration are distracting themselves.
