I trust Hurley to decide where the line is. Building a culture is incredibly important, but playing a walk-on 30 minutes against a top 25 team at home on senior night while building back up a fanbase to be a hardo is asinine if it can be avoided. I get that this isn't Sid's first offense. Hurley has been around basketball his whole life and I'm positive he knows how to make this work for the team's advantage if possible.

Culture is about buy-in, and sometimes people need stakes or extra incentive to buy in. What if the seniors on senior night voted to allow Sid to play. Do you think Sid would not be extremely grateful and play his ass off? Culture is established by the coach, but is affirmed and nurtured by the players, especially the leaders.

That all being said, this is all probably moot as Gilbert will likely play and I'd rather play 4 guards if possible and make Fabian White guard Brandon Adams or make them play Hinton at the 4 and neutralize their rebounding.
