why mcdermott was a bad fit

I'm ready to stop obsessing over McD and move on now. Are these the same people obsessing over that Auburn coach?

I think McD was great, He accomplished so many things during his time in ames... off the court that is

GMac – What Could Have Been… Wide Right & Natty Light

Got a great laugh out of that. Thanks!

That's BS. Brackins was our most committed and hardest-working player the last two seasons. Other than being gone with the USA team last summer, he was here working his tail off. Never missed a workout, never missed a S/C session. Wish that the rest of our team could say that. Meanwhile, Lucca stays in Europe and never really works on his game, and JVB decides to try out for the Great Britain team. WTF? They should have both been here. Ask our strength coach who, other than Brackins, really put the work in last off-season. That goes back to Gmac, who should have put his foot down and made some demands of his players, and used Brackins as the example for others to follow.
The more accurate scenario is that Brackins got frustrated at the lack of commitment from his teammates.

You are really confused. drednot57 (and JP) did not say anything about Brackins' commitment or work ethic. What both are saying is that the other players apparently resented Brackins' preferential treatment from the staff, JP admitted that after GMac left. I am going to assume that JP wasn't yanking anybody's chain regarding that and had no reason to at that point. I can't speak to what happened off the court but my observation on the court was that GMac got carried away with iso sets for Brackins on offense and I could understand the other players' frustrations with that.

Thank you.
