Cal on hami
- Thread starter Calsthebomb
- Start date
Everyone else on the team is somebody's son. Why is he the most important son? Never understood that argument.
I've always felt Cal takes a longer vision than us fans when it comes to players.
We live game by game and if a player absolutely stinks and costing us games, we wonder why the hell hasn't Cal benched him.
But honestly..........if we are going to make a run in the tournament, Hami is going to be a part of that run. Plain and simple.
He has to get going and I don't believe it's from the bench.

What about SKJ's parents? I personally get a little tired of this "coach speak" from Cal.
Agreed. That's a dumb argument, and honestly if it was my son I'd expect the coach to bench him, not coddle him. I'd assume some bench time for my son might encourage him to work harder and get better.
The fact that he has to defend himself tells me he knows what he’s doing.
^ this. The best players should play simple as that. I give 0 Fs abt Hami draft stock
Ummm, where is Cal’s son during the game?
I’m glad he’s encouraging his players and I’m not giving up on anyone, but I don’t know if I’d be using the son argument.

I wonder what's going on with SKJ?He was giving us some quality minutes.
I understand what he's saying. I do.
But it's February Cal. Unless he's close to breakout, he's only hurting us.
If it were January? Shoot yeah, teach away. Time is running short.

Play the best players and forget about everything else. You're not his nursemaid.
Hami played aggressively today.
I feel for him, he’s trying to get out of this mental funk.
He had some aggressive rebounds today in traffic.

Actually the full statement was but if he doesn’t perform, his minutes will be cut. Funny how adding that little bit changes the tenor.
I understand exactly what he's talking about its funny others don't.
After that quote he said something along the lines of “we also have to win the game, we have to have you playing at a high level and if you’re not at that level I’m gonna cut your minutes.”
That's not the whole context of the statement. Also mentioned how hard he's been working and staying late in practice and if he wasn't working hard or listening to coach then he wouldn't play him.
Well that love for the Harrison twins cost us the Wisconsin game.
VERY disturbing comment. Not even high school coaches talk about parents. If you’re coaching concerned about parents well that isn’t a good place to be. Don’t like he comments on this one bit. It’s college, they are men. You think professor cares about parents? My parents sent me off to college and left me alone with my coaches and professors. These guys aren’t babies my gosh!
He repeated it just now on the post game radio show and added some comments.
I listened to and he was speaking out of both sides of his mouth trying to say something to back up his decision to continue to play diallo and trying to make fans happy. Terrible moment for cal
So we've succumbed to the parents coaching Cal rather than Cal coaching their kid. When we're 38-0 is easy to ignore these comments by Cal but when we are on the bubble, it's bothersome.
I love Cal but this is nothing more than coach speak. There's a lot of sons on that bench who would love to have as many opportunities as Hami has been given. Still, we will need him if we are to make a run. A tad bit shorter leash is all I'm asking for.
What about the kids that don’t get to play are they orphans? Do we play kids now because they are someone’s son?? That’s a weird comment. If he can’t help you win you don’t play him. He sure as hell didn’t mind saying it when Wiltjer was here and he was twice the player Hami is because he could give us something. What exactly Does Hami give us??
That's absurd logic. Everybody is somebody's son, so we shouldn't bench anyone?
And taking someone out of the starting lineup is not giving up on him. Diallo would still be getting plenty of playing time if he was a 6th or 7th man instead of a starter.
And, you know, Green is also somebody's son. Doesn't he deserve to be rewarded for his quality play with a starting spot that he has earned?

We just beat Bama by 10 and this is something people are talking about lol
There's nothing wrong with what he said.

It tells me that he was asked the question, by the media.
Funny how that part was left out.
No he wasn’t and what a moronic post that is totally off base.
Hey Diallo actually fought pretty hard. Only had 1 turnover and fought to keep several balls alive that helped us. One of the few games lately where I couldn't say that he hurt us so I think people need to see that he has made some progress. SKJ on the other hand wasn't watching and got beat backdoor again.
Well, we have four games left before postseason starts. We'll see how it plays out.
I don’t understand the need for the comment. I don’t know 1 person who says give up on Hami but what about SKJ? I would not fault SKJ one bit for leaving if he did.
Fact is right now, Hami is not producing on offense or defense. For someone who has a huge vertical, he seems to even struggle using that right now. I hope he gets it going because he should be one of our best players but right now he just isn’t. It shouldn’t matter at this level about Hami being someone’s son.

OP trashed Hami prior to the game in one thread then posts this shit like he cares about the kid.
Nobody realizes that he is the biggest troll on the board?

I thought it was a good quote yall are taking this way to far. Cal said he has been working his ass off in practice. He deserves to play and get out of this funk. He was our best player in November and December.
He played 15 minutes. He has to play at least that much. SGA played 38 and Green 31. Green is at his max and SGA will probably be better at 33-35. It’s more important who finishes the game.
