I agree completely. Some of the people around here treat these athletes like they owe them something. These players have regular class schedules before they even begin putting in the effort of practices, weights, working on their shot whenever they can and then dealing with jet lag to go play a game to further throw them into a loop. The University, or rather the Athletic Dept, IS supplying them with an education in return. I am sure they are grateful for that. Keep in mind, though, that most of them had that same offer from other schools. It isn't like the U was the only bone marrow match for them in the world. They CHOSE to come and represent the school.
Every time I read about "so and so should transfer" or "he really sucks", I just want to throttle that person. These guys are doing their best. The coaches are trying to raise that best to a higher level. It takes time. Booing them won't speed the process up.
So to all you rubes who think you have the right to p*ss on them and their efforts, go down and bang on Pitino's door and demand that he move that scholly over to you, because you obviously are more talented and can handle the job better than what's happening already.
