[Because guys like Beilein make a living by purposefully playing players that do not give them the best chance to win.
Yes, in that regard he’s just like Frank in the oblong ball sport! ;-)
Are you talking about start forever?
No, but I could see that as your interpretation. I was just being my usual sarcastic self.

In Michigan's last 5 games-North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio State, UCLA and Texas....JSmooth has played a total of 20 minutes....20 MINUTES...including 2 DNPs. We all have regrets in life, but I wonder how JSmooth will look back on this decision 20 years from now? I'll give him credit though, surprised he hasn't walked away. Good news on the horizon though...Michigan has Detroit, Jacksonville and Alabama A & M coming up. So at least a few minutes coming JSmooth's way before Christmas break. #Kirk>Simmons

Don't be so sure, unless you literally mean a few. UM beat UC Riverside by 45 and JS played 7 minutes.

Well, I just looked and Jaaron did get 12 minutes today against Detroit in a 90-58 win. 3 pts (3 for 5 from line), 1 assist.

12 minutes? 12 freakin' minutes? Heck, I think Ellis Dozier would play as much against Detroit!

Andrew, I would not trade my minutes at Ohio for less minutes at Michigan, just because of some perceived prestige. He made his decision, so sing no sad songs for him. He likely thought he could pull it off and believed in himself. Maybe he got some bad advice, as he didn't just have this idea on his own.

Couple months into the thread and my status is - I don't follow "JSmooth" at all - 'cept on this thread. I have no interest in Michigan basketball.....

And no "JSmooth" highlights on SportsCenter (or anywhere else).....Unless I missed something.....

^^^^^^^ This. Interesting how the narrative has changed with this thread. You want to feel sorry for the guy, but how can you really? It was his decision to absolutely destroy his final year of college hoops. 8 minutes and 0-3 against Alabama A & M. Truly stunning rapid fall. But hey, at least JSmooth is working towards that grad degree.

Last two games have been 0 points and a DNP/CD. I hope it was all worth it to reach the NCAA tournament. He'll have the best seat in the house to see the game(s).

You got that right 100%Cat. Wonderful life decision JSmooth. At least on the bench for an NCAA game, he might get lucky to hear Bill Rafferty yell "onions" from press row.

You know, there are a lot of threads on BA I never click on because I'm just not interested in them. It's a great filter for not reading things I don't want to read.

Jaaron broke up his back to back DNP-CD's with a 6 minute/2 point performance against Maryland.

I'm telling you this is Beilein's revenge! He's still bitter about us beating him in the 2012 NCAA that he plotted to steal our next good point guard just to bench him.

Ibi Watson, formerly of Athens and Pickerington Central H.S., has seen even fewer minutes for UM this season, 130 minutes to Simmons' 101 minutes.

My father was a math professor and he often pointed out that math is not arithmetic. Einstein had trouble with arithmetic.

Isn't arithmetic a "branch" or "form"of mathematics.

If arithmetic isn't math.
What is it ?
