Message: [QUOTE="NCNutmeg, post: 4122827, member: 11000"] I agree with you for the most part here. However, the reason for that suspension is worth mentioning. Bouknight crashed someone else's car and "smelled of alcohol" after evading the scene of the accident. Pretty sure he stole the car too but the girl who owned the car decided to not press theft charges because "she couldn't remember giving him permission or not". More so that she would never hear the end of it from diehard uconn fans if she got a uconn mens bball player incarcerated. This was before even playing a game. We're not Duke, where you can do whatever you want and there's no consequences (i.e. Banchero). Hurley is big on promoting a culture of accountability and responsibility. I think Diggins lack of playing time boils down to defense, like a bunch of other people on this thread stated. One on one defending is only part of being a good defender. We play team defense with a lot of deep hedging by our bigs, which causes switch outs and I have to believe that Diggins is one of our least versatile defenders on the team at this point. He's small and he can only guard point guards and potentially smaller 2's. Regardless, I would like to see him get more run though because our ball handling is simply that bad. [/QUOTE]
