Did I defend the players? I think the moves that Kim was

forced to make with some of the players were the right move. But you can't really ignore the situation that losing all of these guys have put us in. It's not a black and white situation where these players are better or these players are better. If we could have retained some of the guys that left we probably would have a better team this year. If we would have retained a guy like Isabell and his attitude or Allen and his attitude then we probably would be worse. I've seen the analogy made but what if Matt Lawrence and Leo Lyons had transferred after Mike Anderson took over? Mike probably would have struggled like Kim has. Losing as much talent as we have before they can mature isn't a good thing for the program.
