Why didn't Hernandez play a minute last game?

I looked it up…
5 points in 71 mins….
you shouldn't be a starter if you cant make lay-ups.
everyone needs to realize that Hernandez is a role player…he's not Charles Barkley…
When he has the talent surrounding him to make him flourish, he will certainly contribute more…
he needs a true center, and a shooting guard offensively to do his part…which is alot of dirty work…
Does anyone remeber Bjourn Sjouland (sp?) who used to play along side of Cedric Peoples?
well, if you do, that's kind of my point…
He will come to, when they have the compliments needed to allow him to do so…
Granted, i even eat crow now - gave this guy the benefit of the doubt based on alot of "talk", and even Rex's comments, etc…but after seeing him play, his style is a space eating, get the little things done type of guy…much like Sjouland…
He's NOT going to light it up offensively…this is appearant…
BUT, i think he will compliment when the right parts are in place…

It would be nice to get a true center, but when you have someone of Sammy's size he should be using it, even to throw some picks and get people open. I don't dislike the guy just hoping for some better play out of him especially with all the hype

We have one coming in…his name is Jimmy Sutton…6-10 265lbs…guns the size of watermelons…ok, maybe not that big, but he's a man…
I dont know if you caught his, but Sammy has drawn alot of double teams…hes only 6-5 opn his best day…
I garee with you though…he needs to become more confident and start throwing his "weight" around…all 75 pounds of it - in the rear…

I'm sure he's a good kid but maybe this will serve as a wake up call. I didn't know he was being double teamed. Even if he didn't score just go out there and get in the way make it difficult for the other team to get around him. I hate to be negative just want to see more out of these guys. Losing record, $5.00 parking fee I'm still going to be there to support them and I hope to be there WHEN they turn it around, not IF

Question from Maria
Hi Coach!
With all the build up to his eligibility I'm miffed as to why Hernandez isn't playing more… he seems to be finding his groove, but only played for three minutes in the last game.
Congrats on your wins… it must feel good to get this momentum going - here's to its continuation!
Good luck!
Response from Head Coach Rex Walters
Maria,
Thank you for your question and comments. Sammy is a great young man and we are very happy to have him in our program. Sammy has started to play some better basketball as of late. It is not easy to come in mid-year and blend into the team. There are some things I want him to do better, but also some of the players at his position are playing some pretty good basketball too. If Sammy works hard, good things will happen for him and the team. He is a lot of fun to have and coach and we want him to succeed. Thanks again for the question and comments. We really appreciate the support.
Sincerely,
Rex Walters
