Absolutely agree with everything here, and I mentioned something similar in the other thread. The fact we didn’t get Vaughn or Diallo makes it look like we refused to play the game. Whether or not that is true, I don’t know. What I do know is that Vaughn’s recruitment was shady at best, and Diallo was basically the straw that broke the camel’s back when it came to Hoiberg. Again...did we refuse to play the game, or were we willing participants in a game we “lost”? Either way, MA was in the middle of each of those situations, which may be why some are talking about him the way they are.
