How many sanctions are still left? Can’t the team field a 13 man roster?
Six played significant minutes and three played 4-9 minutes. Memphis had nine with 13 or more minutes.
As someone very wise in such things said on another soc. media platform, all of Jank's excuses have the subtext of truth. Yes, Foster was injured, and is now injured. Yes, Shake was injured for a portion (but not nearly as long as he sat out) of last year. But the simple fact is Jank knew about all these things, brought in no players capable of contributing right away, is worse than June in recruiting, whines about excuses he's known about or had within his control for years, schedules scared, doesn't promote the program, isn't a showman, doesn't *ever* talk about anything other than "aw, shucks, it's all so hard," and has personally overseen the decay of every aspect of the program that Larry Brown built and instilled.
I don't mean to make it seem as if I'm attacking what I think is your opinion (I don't think it's your opinion). Just that those that fund the program and run the program should see through the endless parade of excuses and whining and fire him. Because this isn't going to get better--it's going to get worse. Talent is and will continue to filter out of the program, and whatever talent is left sure doesn't look like it's being utilized properly or developer. Cut the cord and salvage whatever's left before it requires a total rebuild.
