Did Coach K bury Harrison Barnes on the USA bench because he was a Tarheel?

Question: Should Mavs fans be bothered -- or worried -- that Harrison Barnes hasn't gotten just a little more playing time in Rio? This is a $90 million guy, and he can't get on the court.
Cowlishaw: You can't look at it that way. Barnes is in no real sense a $94 million player. That's just his salary. If you get hung up on that the way people did with Chandler Parsons and his money, then Barnes will be a disappointment. He's a Maverick, and he got that money because that's who was available after Plan A and B fell apart (as usual). If he scores 14 points per game and plays better defense than Parsons, then you have to be satisfied with that. Also you can't put it past Coach K to bury a UNC player on his bench and enjoy it.

He probably got buried because he was the "worst" player at that position on the team.

More likely because he's been playing like shite. Not sure why he was even on the team

Or maybe because he's been playing like shite....just a hunch

Yea that makes a lot of sense. Coach K voluntarily chooses a Tar Heel to be on the team, but secretly he hates him so he doesnt play him. Also, the fact that Barnes was far and away the worst player on the team had nothing to do with it. Go play in traffic.

Nah. If he wanted him gone he would've replaced him with a Plumlee instead.

He didn't look good to me when I saw him play

Barnes never should have been on the team to begin with. It should have been JJ Redick or Kyle Korver IMHO

Really did not have ultimate personnel decision making ability. USA Basketball and the Colangello's made the roster.

He had no business Bing on the team period. Def a warm body in case of disaster

Devin Booker should had been on the team over Barnes for the shooting. Barnes sucks.

Are we sure booker is better than Barnes? Bookers %s don't compare favorably to Barnes.

He had to try and hide his Duke bias so he chose Barnes so he would be able to say exactly what you just said.

Of course, would there be any other reason?

Yes, he did it just to spite bitter mouthbreathers such as yourself.
