Booker's post game tweet

I feel like Fred feels obligated to play him so he doesn't transfer.

Sorry the coaches need to recognize this, they dont. Do not blame him, but saying it on twitter is a little dumb. This team is ******* toast with that kind of attitude.

I agree with booker. Doesn't make any sense, percy gibson is making a case to be a more damaging player than Railey on the court.

That's not good for anyone.

Maybe the coaches see a lot more in practice and outside of the floor than we do, and therefore don't play Booker very often?

Nah.. i'm sure it's because they prefer to lose games instead.

I think TJ said something about how the coach's "really value practice" when asked about Booker not playing the other day.

I think this tweet is probably an indication of why he isn't getting playing time. He's ticked off right now for some reason and he's in the doghouse it appears.

It's too bad too because he's a lot better than Percy right now. But Fred can't play him if he's not being a team player and he's not trying in practice. Fred cannot let the players run the show.

This is a point that needs to be made. We are not there everyday like the coaches.

I have no problem with that tweet. No reason for him to be playing behind Percy.

Sure, but practice isnt the game.

Well they should really value games as well. From what I saw out of him vs OU he deserves more time. The lights for some guys goes on during games and not practice. You have to play a guy in real time situations to see how they can play.

I think that's a fair point from the coaching staff, but if Gibson is kicking ***** and taking names in practice but then performs so poorly in actual game situations, does it really matter?

That's all fine and dandy if you want to let that go but do you want Georges Niang seeing Anthony Booker half-assing practice and then deciding he can do the same? No. It's a fine line.

I feel bad for Booker. Clearly he has some talent and he played well for us last year. I think he is just having some bad luck this year. If he could play like he did a lot of last year...we'd be that much better.

I almost think his problem is that sometimes he's too aggressive on defense. That's not a bad thing, but he fouls a lot. If he would come into the game and tone it slightly down, I think he'd stay in the game longer.

I'm not a big Gibson fan. Guy has potential but he's one of the most selfish players I have ever seen. He just throws up shots even when he's triple teamed and more athletic players are on him. Booker is a smarter player with more experience. I wish Booker would play more (and not foul so much).
