Dear Editor:
While SIUC's regular basketball season was going on, I didn't want to bring up anything that might have been divisive to the team. Like during the season, I could not believe the angle one of the Daily Egyptian's sports writers took after a big loss. He blamed one or two of the players for the poor free-throw shooting. That was divisive. Every person and team has some flaws. Grow up DE writers! On SIU's NCAA successes, I say kudos! It was great. I was disappointed in the Jekyl & Hyde performance by Kent Williams. My advice to him is to stop imagining what you will do, and just do it! You can put more pressure on yourself than anyone in this world, Kent. And this leader thing has to go. A team is like a hand, it has five fingers, but who is the leader? The brain ... the coach. Great Job Coach Weber! I think if you would have used your bench more it might have shook Kent out of the stupor he seemed to be in. Also the overexposure of press coverage may have took its toll. I like how UCLA coach John Wooden would shelter his players from the press. Yes, we need the exposure, but how much? Anyway, it was a great season!
