You people are looking into this elbow situation way too deeply. As BCA said, Coach Cal loves the aggressiveness that Cousins has about him and frankly, so do I. Kentucky hasn't had a tough, physical player that isn't afraid to get rough since Jamaal Magloire.

Pitino brought it up in the post-game press conference yesterday. He talked about how Christian Laettner wasn't ejected for stomping on Timberlake's chest in the 1992 Regional Final.

Having said all of this, I can see both sides of the story here. Some may not have thought it to be serious enough for an ejection, some may be totally against Cousins even stepping foot on the court again this year; I really don't care. It doesn't matter. I still love how Cousins plays. It's just my opinion.

There is a difference between playing tough, physical basketball and trying to hurt someone. I know Cousins didn't go into the game wantin to hurt someone, but his emotions got high, and his action with the elbow was clearly to hurt someone.

He has the potential to be a "great" player, but until he can control his emotions, he will only be a "good" player.
