Guess I’m still missing it. Who are the replacement players that play such better defense such that Eddie can’t get in a game for 2 weeks?

I'm sorry but if you list the top 10 things that are wrong with the program, Eddie Holland's minutes wouldn't be on the list. I don't know what our record is when Eddie was on the floor for more than 15 minutes over the course of the season (we were 0-3 in Ivy play) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't very good. He was not the answer, nor was he the problem.

Bingo. As I mentioned, it's fruitless to argue about one player or another on our team. Most are good enough to tease you about their ability, but few are good enough to be clearly deserving over the others or really have a defining edge over opponents over the course of a whole season.

Imagine developing a player who shows attributes that others don’t have.

Yeah. Yawn. In a complete failure of a season the player who has the ability to score at almost .5 points per minute somehow isn’t good enough to play for 4 straight games as a junior as the season winds down. Why would you want to develop that. We apparently have plenty who can do the same while also playing lock down d. Yawn!

Yes, yes, yes. This is a new thought. Thank you.

Sir, you have plenty of old thoughts as well (mostly about not caring if Penn wins as long as its a good program).
We all have ideas we're pretty locked into at this point (myself included) and frankly if you looked at where they all intersect, it simply means it is time to move on from where we are with the current staff.
Evolve or die to be honest, that's where this program sits.

Like this new thought you mean? Saying yawn because you got offended that I used the quick reply feature which looked like I was responding to you is some look. Tell me how many other guys on this team can score at this kind of clip. Doesn’t matter though! There’s nothing more to say. Enjoy your offseason.

You've repeated it again and again and again... that's the yawn.
It's a valid point of view. You can give it a rest now.

PennFan10, to whom I was mostly responding, did not feel that way. At this point, however, there is nothing more to say.
