Dear Coach Theus,
I know you are trying to build the confidence of some of the bigs by feeding them in the post. Kenny Thomas, for example. Or Miki Moore. PLEASE DON'T. If I played Thomas in Horse I'd shoot layups everytime and win 9 times out of 10. (Maybe he wins one because I have bad knees.) What you have to realize is that Thomas's basketball IQ approaches zero, and you may spend the next three years persuading, cajoling, and "teaching" him, but he'll still have a basketball IQ approaching zero. Miki Moore did one thing on offense tonight that he can do - he hit one outside shot. He's Miller lite. He needs to be outside, not inside. He's 32 years old. He's not in developmental league. He is what he is.
And you might be trying to create that team camraderie thing or send a message about defense by starting Orion Greene. PLEASE DON'T. He'll never be able to shoot. If he could be teamed with four offensive threats, he might be a nice complementary player. MAYBE. But right now, with maybe two players who have some confidence in their offensive games, respectfully sir, it's just not a good idea.
Back to Thomas. I can't stand him. No, I mean I REALLY can't stand him. I'd almost pay to have him sit on the bench. Can you help me out here?
