Message: [QUOTE="SwingDog, post: 3387156, member: 7919"] I think uconnbill is right; he needs a fire under his butt! As far as I'm concerned, in order for this team to be successful we need Josh to be all he is capable of being in terms of a sizable defensive presence in the paint, a formidable rebounder, a scorer- and a good passer. When he is "on" other things start clicking for the team. The whole team needs to get some fire and intensity, with Josh being one of its leaders. He needs to own his clearly defined role on this team for this to be a season of progress and moving forward for the program. There is literally no one else capable of filling his shoes at this present time. Josh is not the most agile center around but he does have talent; he just needs to play smart and inspired basketball. I think Coach Hurley benching Josh against USF for most of the game was his way of trying to light a fire under his butt. We'll what happens on Wednesday against Tulane. [/QUOTE]
