I've been noticing something for the last couple of years. Rick seems to play certain guys alot no matter what they do or bring to the table while others sit alot?
For example, Kyle Kuric is really becoming a solid player. Rebounds better than anybody on the team, plays solid D, hustle plays ect. But he gets in the game and makes good plays but if he makes one mistake Pitino will jerk him quicker than a hiccup. Same is true for Peyton Siva. When he's asked about it he gets defensive and says they aren't practicing well.
Other end of the spectrum would be Jerry Smith. Jerry is playing way too many minutes for what he is bringing to the team. In fact he is actually a plus for the opposition right now, you don't even have to guard the guy leaving somebody available for Double teams.
Just some thoughts and maybe I'm all wet on this but it seems some can do no wrong and play while others have to walk on egg shells and be perfect. Seems to yell louder and more often on some players in the huddle than others to.
Any thoughts and please, serious comments, not the Usual Louisville stinks and they are a NIT team blah blah blah.
