What your asking is like asking why there are not more "dog bites man" stories in the media.

UK's lack of depth is not the players' doing, it is a coaching issue (hopefully a temporary one). Lack of depth is the reason a punk like Liggins can get away with arguing with Coach Cal during a game and not following his instructions on the court.

A better coach would bench Liggins until his attitude improved and let him feel some peer pressure from his teammates - even if it cost the team a few wins in the short run. If Coach Cal had a deeper bench, then he could bench Liggins without the team missing a beat. Coaches need to instill certain core principles in players for the long-term good of the program. Player respect for their coach is one of those principles. The SEC is not the NBA and player disrespect for the coaches cannot be tolerated.

You do not think the players have anything to do with losing on the road? Cal isn't the one out there making the passes or shooting the ball.
On to your next point UK's lack of depth is not the coaches nor player's fault. That would be the NCAA's fault Cal recruited what he thought he would get which is Kanter. If Kanter was eligible then we would be much more deeper then we are now. Chew on that for a minute and think about it. Kanter being eligible allows Harrellson to come off the bench as the 7th man, and we would be able to rotate guys in and out a little bit more. I have nothing to say about Liggins the guy is a awesome defender and makes big plays on defense. I haven't seen any problems between the two at all so I don't know what your talking about.
