Bravo contract should be sizeable.

I have first-hand experience with area athletes and coaches. So, what I'm saying is, I don't feel like my opinion is coming out of left field...
Keith has a lot of people giving him bad advice. I, too, have heard from people that Keith has people whispering in his ear about professional basketball, especially since the Michigan game. Sometimes, we can tell ourselves a lie long enough to actually believe it's true. Imagine if outsiders were doing this. If enough people tell you that you're an all-star, you may start believing it. Many people close to Keith have NOT been doing him any favors in that regard. Reminds me of WVU quarterback Major Harris of yester-year. Anyway...
None of this excuses a quitters mentality. As a coach, I can tell you, selfish personalities are a cancer in any locker room. Leaving a team over playing time and/or "starting" status is PATHETIC. It's not how GOOD coaches teach the game, and it's not how GOOD players approach the game. It's especially frustrating when a player like Keith quits on his teammates, who've had his back since the beginning. They're dealing with a postseason ban because of Keith, but he's the one who won't ride it out. It's completely selfish and immature. I can't believe he doesn't realize that, and that the realization isn't eating him up inside.

At the end of the day, I don't wish any ill-will upon him. Honestly, I hope he figures it out and makes something of himself.
In the meantime, I'm not gonna dwell too much longer on who ISN'T here. Tomorrow night, I'll be cheering on the men that suit up against Cincy, as we continue our march towards a regular season American Athletic Conference championship.
Pony Up!
