His job now is to carry Gabes balls, so his work is just beginning today.

No he wasn’t dressed. The playing time question is dumb. The “why wasn’t he dressed” question is fine
He was in his warmups every time they showed him on the bench
Maybe he forgot his uniform? Know a kid in junior high who did that.
Fun hating mods that deleted my Hawley thread, must not like joking around.
Same here. I didn't care if Ward played. More concerned if he is injured. Because we are going to get in foul trouble. Depth is a nice thing to have.
It was a great win. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Bob Jones looks like he has improved immensely relative to last year. They throw the ball to him in the post on purpose this year and he has proven he can make some baskets.
Everyone is so sensitive to these questions, it is not undermining TJ decision just questions, early in the year he seemed to get a decent amount of mins, since he was in street clothes I would presume and injury.
I noticed it with the Oklahoma game, it was halftime and there was no Hason Ward on the floor. If it were an injury wouldn’t they announce it much like Kunc’s? T.J. is usually pretty open with the media on that, regardless of the severity. You hate to speculate, but a valid question.
The real significance of Ward not being in the rotation is we'll likely make Center our top priority in transfer season. However, I think it could of been already.
I think the thing is that every year there are fringe players who play a little bit as the 9th or 10th man in the rotation, guys who get minutes early in the season because a) the games are not as close and the coach might want to try them in different situations and b) the games are not as close and the coach would prefer to save the players who are going to play more for the conference season, especially in a conference like the Big 12 where each game is a battle. The less tread on the tires before conference season begins the better, so to speak.
For some reason, a portion of Iowa State fans assume that someone getting 9 minutes of IUPUI at home is going to get 9 minutes against TCU on the road. This is despite the fact that almost every basketball coach in the history of basketball shortens their roster during the conference season. I do not know why there is a certain segment of the fanbase that refuses to accept this information, but it is simply true.
The reason people are annoyed by these threads is because of the above. It is a "valid question" I guess except it isn't, really, because the answer is self-evident. He isn't getting any minutes because TJ is playing the other guys.
He has played in 12 of 14 games but is only averaging 6 min/game in high D1 competition (48 min in 8 games-0 min in last 2).
I literally got left at a golf meet. WAY before cell phones, 1 1/2 hours from home. Opposing coach drove like mad to catch up with bus 1/2 down the road. Everyone involved was embarrased.
I brought my Home uniform to an away game as a freshman. It was no big deal until we blew out the other team and coach wanted to empty the bench. Coach had one of the seniors swap uniforms with me in the locker room during the 4th quarter. I ended up draining a three to push us over 100 pts. I don’t recall how the jersey number thing was handled.
Was not my question and I agree with your answer. Just curious why so many are just plain a..holes. Not hard to just ignore and move on. Do people enjoy it, think it's funny. Looking back at a serious post this week from Jeremy, it was nice to see compassion and caring.
