Hymes behavior vs. LaSalle?

[hoopjunkie]

I didn't see, hear or read a thing about the LaSalle game. Now, I'm hearing JP pulled Hymes with 5 min to go, and he went to the locker room, and not the bench??

If this is true, it's a pretty significant story, and it doesn't seem to be getting any attention.

Can someone, that does know and won't specualte, fill me in on what took place?

I believe an issue stems from last years game against Loyola at the TUC. Evan fumbled a pass out of bounds in front of Loyola's bench. Jimmy clearly said something to Evan. I asked both of them what was said at the Pep rally when Jimmy was introduced and they both shrugged it off as nothing. I'm not trying to stir things up. Just telling what I saw on the game tape.

So Evan just came back to piss Patsos off?

[hoopjunkie]

That's all fine, but did Evan really go the locker room, and not the bench, after JP pulled him?

I predicted that JP wouldn't deal with Evans lack of desire to play defense and rebound. It would drive any real coach crazy.

You people are overlooking the most obvious answer. He had to piss.

Evan Hymes gets yelled at for not being hydrated enough, now he gets yelled at for being too hydrated. The kid just cannot please you people.

I was told he didn't return to the bench?? So he came right back out of the loceker room?

Yes he came back to the bench, he was the first off the bench greeting players with encouragement after time-outs.

he returned to the bench. anything else said is total speculation and therefore, unnecessary.

As I recall it, he was the first one off the bench Hi-5'ing guys during the last couple of minutes. I could have sworn that was in the last 5 minutes.

If something did happen or was said it should be handled in house and I'm sure it will be. Jimmy Patsos will hold people accountable. We haven't had that since Fran McCaffery left. If you don't buy in to the team concept then you have a problem. Discipline and structure is the first key to getting this program back on track IMHO.

I've said before. .. hymes is fine scoring if you give him a complete green light and the outcome of the game doesn't matter. He can score 15 points on 20 shots with the best of them

Hymes is this years Mitch on this board- lots of fans are hypercritical of him- while he may be short he is one the best offensive weapons on the team- he is lightning quick- has major ups and one of the best jump shots on the team- he has been one of the few bright spots from the last few years

I agree with onions-let's lay off the kid !

Like all good little elves, he spreads joy and happiness to all around him.
