could your explain your question because I really don't follow. Is it for punishiment for not giving effort that he should be benched or Is it because you think he doesn't care to play in it and thus shouldn't, is it so the team can just play with the players that will be on next years team in order to use the tournement as a preseason game for next year. I don't follow at all. Is there some precedence for a teams top players to not play in the NIT?


if it's to avoid injury why did he play at all this season and what makes you think he is so injury prone that playing in that tournament in particular will put him at some great risk of injury

People are fricking stupid and they expected to much out of him. He's nearly averaged a double double as a freshman. He can't carry the team and the shitty coach. Let's just bench him because he's an injury risk. What are the other players going to do? Coast because they may turn an ankle attempting a lay up?
