If you cant understand the HUGE difference between coming back from a serious surgery to your knee and a moderate ankle sprain, then maybe you shouldn't be questioning how the coach handles each situation.
Because tracey couldn't compete physically. It was obvious that he couldn't contribute until he was completely healed and it's showing this season, he is even physically better than last year. But Bud is physically fine, he is just going through a shooting slump.
Actually, Tmac's play in last season was better than CBud's play in this season. BTW, what is a shooting slump? I never saw that a coach gave a role player so long playing time to overcome his 'shooting slump'.
You're not making sense. You're comparing a vet of over 10 yrs who was an all-star, with all around abilities, to a near rookie with less abilities. Tmac can be at 50% and "look" better because of that... Budinger's PT has decreased. He's not being rewarded for being in a shooting slump. How do you expect RA to know when his shooting slump is over? You can't just give him one shot and 4 mins to determine that. He's getting around 14 mins lately and that's enough to test where he's at every game and then sit him, if he's not "back" yet.
