Message: [QUOTE="Rich, post: 4316581, member: 9018"] That gold watch line is pretty funny. And if that's how I viewed the world I wouldn't have accomplished a damn thing in life and would likely have transferred halfway through freshman year after I had a disagreement with my advanced calc professor over a quiz grade. Of course I stuck around and saw it through and wound up graduating SCL and speaking on graduation day. So go figure. Oh, and I didn't get a gold watch but I did get a pretty spiffy Rolex Sea Dweller and a pretty damn good job for my troubles. Re: Gaffney-if you want to call Dan Hurley out on anything having to do with TG then you call him out on refusing to run players out of the program. That's suggestive of admirable character but in this cutthroat business it isn't gonna get results. I think he's learned his lesson. But the bottom line with Floyd and Diggins is they did not want to wait and work enough to get better, AS ADJUDGED BY THE HEAD COACH, not a random poster on some fan message board (raises hand). Neither of these dudes were can't miss five stars and (I'll throw the dice here) are extraordinarily unlikely to ever play in the NBA. But even handing that level of recruit playing time right off the hop doesn't always work out - see Memphis. [/QUOTE]
