[QUOTE="eerdoc, post: 130768855, member: 1071764"] Very easy answer to anyone paying even minimal attention--McCabe was on the bench after doing anything that certain folks on the coaching staff considered to be a 'mistake'. He was not being given any chance at all to develop confidence and feel for the game. Some games he would be sent in and play less than half a minute and out he would come. when in he was showing decent foot skill on defense and the ability to properly distribute the ball was evident. He was not in long enough to score many points and get in any sort of rhythm. It seemed obvious that the staff favored the home state kid who rewarded them with numerous turnovers and very few assists. Sure, he had a couple games where he scored several points from taking a truck load of shots, some of which were a horrible choice and totally ill-advised. Yet , he removed playing more minutes than seemed justified). Now, with the very short bench, the 'quick hook' cannot be utilized. Result is that McCabe has responded with eye catching performances. Note the assist to TO ratio over the time he has been allowed to play enough to raise a real sweat. The TCU game not only gave some of these kids a long time to build statistics, but ir showed who can play long periods and still be fresh enough to perform reasonably. I have said repeatedly that I do not see Knapper having the proper skill set and mental make up to be successful as a PG. (He may develop into a scorer, but his ball handling is far inferior to that of McCabe as evidenced by his TOs and lack of assists.) The constant drum beat for what Knapper will do under a variety of circumstances is nothing but pure speculation not supported by fact. Sure, his neck injury has opened the door for McCabe and opened the eyes of Huggs and he whole coaching staff. But, there is no denying that the kid has stepped forth with production. We have data to support his PT. All we have from Knapper are the 'thoughts' of a very biased fan with irrational and unfounded declarations of greatness. The factless super hype has reached the point of causing severe nausea. I really care not whether Knapper stays or is asked to move on. Whatever the decision, my hope and trust is that the team will be improved by it. [/QUOTE]
