The situation with the Russell kid is unfortunate but everybody saw problems brewing. I made the statement during the season that Russell had swithed to a guard oriented team and him was not being ulitized very much.

But most basketball people knew as soon as the dad took over the program that problems were just around the corner. Dads getting involved with basketball programs are usually very risky.

If the young man still has a passion for the game of basketball hopefully his parents will be able to find a situation that can help him develop as a player and person.

Unfortunately this topic kind of got hijacked.
