Message: [QUOTE="BIIIG, post: 4297191, member: 8991"] It did seem like last year Akok would get pulled out of the game for any mistake he made, where other guys had way longer leashes. That's got to mess with your confidence especially when coming back from injury. Going somewhere and being given a longer leashe might be rough at first but after a couple of games of getting comfortable without having to worry about being yanked from the game instantly could def lead to him figuring it out on the defensive side and becomming a much better player. Not blaming Dan Hurley at all, UConn wasn't in a situation where they could afford to let a guy figure it out and unfortunately giving him a long leashe wasn't an option based on the players that would have to sit to do that.
