Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5051796, member: 55"] I guaranty you Legler doesn't even believe that -- it's just controversy to increase clicks or ratings. A coach's job isn't being respectful to a player -- it's about winning games and championships. Being "respectful" is only impactful if it affects winning this tournament. I don't care if you think Tatum is the best player in the world -- we're trying to put the best TEAM on the floor, not the best five players. UConn has won plenty of championships where we didn't have the best players, but did have the best team. The thought that this makes winning in '28 harder is beyond stupid. Who knows if Tatum will be playing basketball then, uninjured and at a high level, without others having become better. And who knows if we'll need him at home to win. The coach's job is to win the gold this year. Nothing that occurred yesterday could cause a rational person to believe he was jeopardizing that. [/QUOTE]
