If you felt this, why post anything until you knew full story?

Did you read the quote? Or anything I've written since my first post?

The quote itself leads one to believe the reason he didn't play had nothing to do with his health but that he only practiced once last week. We've found that not to be true since, but as I read it I found it hard to believe which is why I brought it up. If it was true than something more than I wrote needed to be said. Also, who is to say that we would have found out the full story if I hadn't brought it up? All of the other comments were just (warranted) excitement that he was going to be back this week.

I agree with others that the 2 practice rule isn't why we are 3-6, but not playing a 5th year senior who is easily your best aback because he only practiced once is bad judgement IMO. This clearly wasn't the case, but I would like to think you could see why I would bring it up. That is unless you think that playing a bunch of freshman and a former walk on gives our team a better chance of winning than a 5th year senior with more ability than all of them regardless of whether he practiced at all.

Again it's a moot point now, but if you can't understand why a fan, teammate, or really anyone would raise a concern than I don't know what to tell you.

Your comments about me being related to CPJ and not wanting Snoddy to play are way out of left field and totally inaccurate. There are two reliable replies saying the 2 practice rule is standard protocol.

Questions about his playing time, the 2 practice protocol, accuracy of quote, etc. can easily be made without claiming your thoughts on CPJ's decision making went way down. If you can't understand that, then I don't know what else to say.

Your reading comprehension is pretty bad isn't it? My comment about Snoddy not playing due to practice time prompted the 2 practice rule comments, not the other way around. You should stop making things up as well. I never once said that PJ didn't want Snoddy to play. Go back and reread what I wrote. Once it was known that Snoddy was still hurt, I acknowledged it. Any comments on the topic thereafter were in response to you wondering why I would even bring it up.

My comments about you being related to to PJ were purposely as asinine as you assuming that the question I posed was merely for me to take a shot at the coach. I'm guessing you haven't read any of my other comments on the matter based on your reply. I will say this, based on most of your replies my "you would defend PJ on anything" comment is much closer to the truth than you assuming I'm looking for a way to take shot at him. If you and those like you weren't so defensive at the slightest comment that could remotely be construed as having any sort of negative connotation toward PJ, people would take you a lot more seriously.

Like I said previously, I support PJ and understand that he has been dealt a tough hand this year. My allegiance is with GT first and foremost and no man getting paid 3+ million dollars to coach a bunch of 18-22 year olds is beyond question. 3-6 is 3-6. I can think of at least 2 games that we should've won had he done a better job coaching. UNC for sure. If you think he is getting the most out of the team this year, you and I are watching different games. I'm not calling for him to be fired by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm not going to sit here and say he's doing a good job either. He's basically said the same thing himself. I know he's frustrated and he's dealing with a lack of leadership on the player's end, which is disappointing. Hopefully this dreadful year will be something the young guys will never want to experience again and work like crazy to make sure that it doesn't.
