Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2341195, member: 37"] Because JC was all about hustle and defense. No hustle, no defense, no going all out in practice, you rode the pine. We all know why Kentan rode the pine for three years. Great kid but could not figure out defense even as he picked up offensive sets. Steve could have become a stud on offense but didn't get minutes because he didn't show the same energy on defense. Juwan was most likely in KO's doghouse because he would have been in JC's doghouse. Funny how people can hold JC as one of the five best men's college bb coaches of all time and get aggravated with him when he overlooked certain flaws with his players that fans thought he shouldn't. And if KO is cut from the same UConn cloth, I find it humorous that people don't understand why he didn't give Steve, Juwan and young Kentan more playing time. [/QUOTE]
