Thank you.

I hope we never get to the point we don't realize that every good team has it's role players, and if the role players do their jobs, everyone else benefits.

 

With your attitude, UKCATSFAN, we never would have had Cameron Mills to help us win the '98 title. He did his time, stayed when it would have been easier to leave and was INSTRUMENTAL in the title run!

 

Your message would have been to cut the dead weight loose and rely on an unproven commodity that may or may not have done the job.

If that is his sole purpose, I hope he gets a ticket out of town. We need players here!!

 

I am sure that Steve Massiello (sp) is very pleased that Pitino didn't have that attitude with him. He always wanted to be a coach and that was his sole purpose for walking on at UK. I believe is now an assistant at UL.

If he wants to learn to coach, I think he's in the right spot and will learn from one of the best!

He's a walk on who is trying to learn to coach, from what I understand.

He does not believe he is the next Jordan. He knows his best shot at ever starting is Senior Night (or Another Offical score card mix-up during the NCAA tourney, like his one and only start ever.)

He is never in to turn the ball over or make mistakes.

He is always encouraging the guys who are on the floor and is usually the first one to them during a time out.

 

What is he hurting by paying his own way and trying? The kid is learning and staying out of the way.

 

What did "Mr. Wildcat" do that was so amazing that no one else could do? Stock lockers and provide socks and jocks? Hand out towels and clean up laundry?

 

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

 

He helped encourage the younger guys, counsel the older guys, acted as a sounding board for nearly everyone, including the coaches AND HELPED to make Kentucky Basketball Kentucky Basketball. Perry is not on that level by any means, but he does it all to help the program. The guy does not gripe, does not complain and is an excellent role model for the younger guys to follow.

IF he was on a scholly, I would agree with you that he is taking up some valuable real estate, but seeing that he is paying his own way, I think he deserves a break until he proves otherwise. He serves a role that is sorely needed by this team, IMO.

Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were under the impression he was a scholarship player...if this was true I can see your reasoning...but he is a walk-on and is very beneficial to the team as it seems in other ways not on the basketball court.:thumb:
