BUT.... what you don't see is the symbolism of keeping Harrellson. Harrellson was Gillispie's whipping post, heck he even forced him to ride back in the equipment truck and forced him to spend an entire halftime in the bathroom stall!
Calipari knew that the 5th post position was not going to see any substantial minutes over PPat, Cousins, Orton, and Perry Stephenson. This was a spot where he wanted to maximize giving it to someone who would benefit the team more from sitting on the bench and being a positive member of the team.
I also think Cal made the better decision for Pilgrim. Pilgrim is a decent player, as evident by his season at Okie State. Had he been left as nothing more than a mop up player at UK he would have been severely shortchanged and in turn may have had a negative effect on the team. Harrellson is perfectly content riding the pine all the way to a Final 4 OTOH.
:Thumbs: but what does the bolded section mean?
