Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5236073, member: 55"] Good God. No one is saying that Newell didn’t get a chance (or shouldn’t have gotten a chance) BECAUSE he was a freshman. They’re saying he didn’t get more of a chance (because he was given a few chances and didn’t show anything, unlike a Diggins who absolutely never got a chance) because he never convinced the coach that putting him in would benefit the team. I know you think he would have, but why do you have such problems grasping the obvious — that given a choice between relying on the conclusion of professional evaluators (coaches) who watch in practice every day and a fan who doesn’t see practices, all rational people will assume that it’s far more likely the coaches are going to be right.
