Where's Desi?

I have been wondering that for the whole second half. More trouble on Willard's watch?
Because that's the whole point of this message board and it doesn't matter what anyone says or doesn't say on here. Stop being so uptight and protective of the team. We don't affect anything that goes on with them in any real way.
That was my guess. Must have said something because nothing obvious in-game
More disciplinary problems. When does it ever end with this team?
KW also said he hasn't decided on his playing status against Nova.
Looks like our "speculation" was on point huh?
Did you really think he was sitting just because? LOL.

Desi has been a problem all year with his mouth and he has been protected... I guess Willard has had it finally. We cannot have the players running wild which leads to bad chemistry!!! Good for Willard!!!
I give credit to the coach for not tolerating disrespect. I just can't believe we are seeing player discipline problems again.
That's how great coaches manage these situations ... Coach Willard is ascending as we knew he would with this Team ... note it!
Relax. The "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" groupthink you seem to prefer is still well represented. But it is perfectly legitimate to question what happened when it's not the first time the player in question has come under question...
first off...all I stated was why speculate on being in the doghouse before you know? Now you know. Credit to willard for doing the right thing.
Secondly, the smug comments are tiresome overall on this board. You can group me where ever you think . I really could care less, because you really have no idea and that's fine.

So - all of us speculators have no idea so we shouldn't speculate. But YOU really have an idea what it's about. So YOU would have known all along. And then to castigate people for wondering what's up, you go and lay in on people who just want to understand.
I don't have to smug. Neither do others. If you really know what the problem is, you'd do yourself a big favor by just being quiet about it. Now you show yourself pretty poorly.
Frankly - you can see that everyone, once understanding the situation, is backing the coach - as well we should and as he deserves.
So - no message board problem right there - unless you want to make it that way.
He would have made a difference in this game. I don't think it would have been as close if he had been in the game in the second half. o well.
If that's the case, Desi needs to grow up. It's not about him, it's about what's working well. He averages 25 MPG and contributed nicely in the first half against Marquette.
If what you say is true why wasn't the problem with Desi addressed before now. One of the principles of imposing discipline is that you address it quickly and decisively and not let it grow. If we have a new version of Willard controlling the locker room why was Desi "protected" ?
Sal I'm using your post that said that Desi has been a problem all year and that he's been protected which led to my comments.
I think as fans we need to avoid over-analyzing the dynamics of a particular disciplinary problem. We just don't know enough about the situation. But time will tell if this is another dumpster fire.
There are lots of ways to handle discipline. Ideally, you don't go to the hammer on a first offense, but you use it if it's necessary. Similarly, I'd bet a coach's first preference is to avoid publicly disciplining and calling out a player. It just reached that level with Desi. I would imagine it was being addressed in other ways.
