Didn't know where to leave this. Decent Q&A with Josh Green.

Saw that. Is it me, or do his answers fly in the face of how many here have perceived this year's team? He says team chemistry is strong, that he's benefiting from Miller's coaching, that he loves Tucson/UofA, et al. The one question they didn't ask: "So in another couple weeks, you're getting the F out of college and heading for "greener" pastures, right?" To which JG would've responded: "Oh mos def."

Got the scoop on Hazzard and needless to say it is a very personal issue. I wouldn't expect him back in an an Arizona uniform barring some type of clarity appearing in the coming weeks. It has nothing to do with his feelings about Miller, his playing time, etc., etc.

Wow. Thanks for the info Choo.

Damn. Hope Hazzard is okay.

It's easy to be skeptical of these types of interviews. But for Green to offer the answer about the Tucson community when asked about the best thing about Arizona and the school shows the players recognize and appreciate the attention.

Some of the comments on this board (and Twitter, etc...) is that Sean Miller has lost the team. If so, then it's the players' choice. Miller is transparent about his tactics. That's why recruits come here: to get coached hard and be held accountable. To some, that may be lip service. That is, until they're being held accountable -- see Max Hazzard. But Green acknowledges that Miller is on him and holding him accountable.

A good example is the situation at Michigan State with Tom Izzo and Cassius Winston. Izzo backed off Winston in light of his brother's suicide. But Izzo couldn't hold back any longer and met with Winston and his family. It boiled over last week with a vocal, on-court exchange. And you know what? It was no big deal. And Izzo is praised about it as he should. And a lot of it is because his team won that particular game and is showing some resurgence.

Does anyone think Tom Izzo would put up with the same shit involving Hazzard and Jeter? Or Doutrive? A coach has to set standards and hold people accountable. And sometimes the results aren't what you wanted because the individual player doesn't step up to the accountability.

Donnell Harris was released from the program 20 years ago. He had a promising career ahead of him after winning a title his sophomore year but tanked after the title season. Imagine if he had played through his senior season. Accountability. Shit happens.

Don't know if it's him you should be concerned with.

I get the right to privacy. But it's both implied and inferred that his role with the team, Miller, etc... is the problem. That's just as much my own fault as the media portrayal and trying to fill in the blanks. The Twitter posts about his role added fuel to the rumor that he had a problem with Miller.

If it has nothing to do with his role, playing time, Miller, etc... then Arizona can't buy a fucking break.

Man. Whatever it is, I hope no one's hurt or in danger.

Exactly. Look at previous cases where student athletes have been out with undisclosed personal issues.

I believe he won't be back in an an Arizona uniform barring some type of clarity appearing in the coming weeks.

If it was like Pitts, it would be odd he played at UCLA

Nicely done.

What a wild up-and-down season it was

Good luck to Nnaji, Mannion, and Green in the NBA

Jeter and Green might give the Pros overseas a try and stick somewhere

Imagine how piss we'd be if this team was 27-5 and peaking right now

Thought the same thing, now we can't lose in the first round to Buffalo

So can the NCAA just hand down our punishment now? They don't have anything else going on at the moment.

So can we get a 2020 Final Four shirt mocked up and printed?

I’ll take 3

Because we are the highest seed that won a game in the PAC 12 tournament. Oregon got the auto bid but whatever, we won.

XXL please

It's actually a 1997 championship shirt - I just changed the year

If you actually print tgem, that would be sweet.

Pimptino returns.
