Larrier update??

[PAHusky]

If he hasn’t been practicing it’s almost academic if he plays - he hasn’t played a lot the last few years and it shows.
Hopefully, if a guy doesn’t practice he also doesn’t get rewarded by playing.
I expect a lot of casual fan responses to this post - I am ready.

Look Chief, as a casual fan I have to say, just when I thought you couldn't say anything dumber you go and say "hopefully if a guy doesn't practice he also doesn't get rewarded by playing" and you totally redeemed yourself.

It's common sense across every sport. That's why I'm betting the Jags heavy this week. As Brady didn't practice Thursday and Belichick is arguably the great coach ever the guy knows enough to follow the Chief rule and will keep him benched. Not healthy enough to practice but when it comes time for games, those things that actually count, you want to play? Tough luck, have a seat.

 

[PAHusky]

Chief, we have 3 players who can score the ball and he is one of them. Tom Brady isn't practicing this week, so he should sit?

Jibsey you genius I should have read the rest of the posts before writing, rook mistake.

Here's hoping that Terry does his best Willis Reed impersonation...

 

[Chief00]

Is this another "concussion protocol" type Chief's Griefs that you're going on here?

Our head related medical staff is in need of an IV.

Chief appreciates the feedback - I always welcome casual fan input. Thank You!

We are going to need more than 4 points out of Larrier Dan.

Back in Chief's day, you kept playing through skull fractures. It was what real men did!

I don't mind no-armed players, as long as they can shoot.

 

[Kitaman]

Perhaps start AA for defense so no stupid early fouls. Play 2 guards to have one semi rested. Tell Vital to play controlled smart basketball.

Instruct Jalen to limit his turnovers and funky shot selection.

Tell bigs to rebound, rebound and rebound.

If we do that, even without Larrier, then we have a great chance of

..................... .. keeping the deficit within 25 points.

You! Strawberry! Hit a home run!

 

[Robertelamin]

You! Strawberry! Hit a home run!

Tell Carlton to dunk it at least 20 times and no fouls or turnovers.

 

[joober jones]

This is inveitably going to end with an Allen Iverson reference from somebody

Well, yeah.

Just for the record Brady practiced today. Puttting Larrier in TB12’s position is a non starter too - he hasn’t played much the last 3 years. TB12,is dedicated to practice and loves it. He prepares himself for game day and is laser focus when the game begins. Something for Terry to strive for.

 

[Bryan Lord]

If he plays does that put him in the conversation as bravest husky to ever lace them up?

Casual fans take note: TB12 >Larrier.

I disagree Chief.

1) Even without practicing, he's better than anyone else taking his minutes
2) it's not like he's been out an extended period of time
3) it's nothing about "reward" or punishment
4) the program needs to compete the best it can

I always defend our boys. But I don’t think terry wants to expose his shortcomings against this group of guys. It would show very fast. Mainly because he would be so relied upon to perform.

I’m sure TL wants to play but if the headaches are debilitating and the medical staff advises against it he should sit without us questioning his motives. Terry may not have lived up to our expectations yet but I believe he cares about his team and teammates and wants to be out there.

Thanks Mr Stairmaster. Now I know why Chief is the way he is.

UConn's Terry Larrier (headaches) will be a game-time decision for today's game against Villanova, per a school spokesman.

Practice. What we talkin' bout man. Practice. Practice.

I hear you and understand the impulse. I am thinking beyond this game and setting expectations for the players - that’s just my opinion and I respect yours
