We need to call out Scotty

Not really. And I'm not trying to pile on Scotty or hate on him, but facts are facts. No one played with less effort this year than Scotty.

I can't believe it, but I'm agreeing 100% with you.

Hopson seems to be a good kid. However, that really has nothing to do with his lack of effort on the court (in addition to some less than impressive fundamentals).

The said golfer isn't showing lack of focus because he doesn't care. He's lacking mechanical focus bc he's tied up in a mental battle.

How about this, here's to hoping his productivity improves, no matter the reason for it lacking.

You could see that other players (e.g., Williams) were leaving it all out on the court.

Not so with Hopson--and that's not because his talent masks effort.

It was just another crucial mistake he made during the game. I simply wanted to vomit after seeing not contest the three that gave them the lead with about 2 minutes to go. That was him just not giving effort, pure and simple.

gospel truth.

to much time on the clock to suddenly jack up a hero shot.

awful defense on that 3 pointer by MSU.

Guys, I think many of you have missed my point. I didn't say what coach pearl should do. I didn't say what Scotty should do. I simply said what it would take for Scotty to make me happy as a FAN! I had the unfortunate opportinity to watch him whine, mope, and play with no effort first hand in the first session of the sec tourney. Myself along with every other person in that arena can attest to the fact that he gave ZERO effort all game long. Tatum let Coach Pearl know how he felt about coming out so Scotty could go mope along on the court in the second half as well. I know that happened because I saw it.

I didn't blame him for the loss either. My point was, all you can ask of a player is to hustle. No one shoots 100% from the field or the foul line. He made, IN MY OPINION, a bad choice to force a long range jumper at the rim with 11 seconds left on the clock.

Before anyone disagrees with anything else I have said, ask yourself these questions and give an honest answer.

1. Do you think Scotty gives it all he has
2. Does Scotty lay out for loose balls
3. Does Scotty ever get the hard rebounds.
4. Does Scotty ever seem to be worn out after a game.
5. Did Scotty rush a contested shot with 11 seconds left in the game.

Answer these questions to yourself and see if you can understand where I am coming from.

By the way, I hope whole heartedly that Scotty turns it around and plays up to his ability. As a fan, I would assume everyone would want the same. As fans, the best we can do is buy a ticket and support our team. As players, the best they can do is hustle and give everything they have to our great university.

And you missed my point. To play along though.
1.No one but him knows that, same is true about the other 9+.
2. Yes.
3. No, he adjusted to what the D gave him. He makes it, you all sing his praises.

If the defense was "giving" him something he wouldn't have gotten fouled. I'm not saying scotty cost us the game but I am saying however that with more of and effort from him we would have won the game. it seemed like every time sparty hit a 3 or got a huge rebound I found myself shaking my head and holding my face and saying scotty to myself because he had something to do with it. Anyone who watches the game can tell he is not giving his all It really is not hard to tell.

That would be called perception. Things aren't always what they seem. Kid wouldn't be playing if he wasn't giving effort on a daily basis. Lay the F off him. I guarantee he has given more effort to the team than 100% of the posters that BASH him. Saying his productivity needs to improve is one thing. Saying he's worthless and doesn't care and doesn't try is another.

Interesting to see a thread where a player is berated for his lack of aggression, assertiveness, and courage on one page and then bashed for getting the ball, creating space, taking a shot, and drawing a foul in the waning seconds of the regional final on the next.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. /Thread please. As if the burning sting of missing the go-ahead FT in a regional final is not enough. Leave it alone people. Climb back in here --"YOUR PLACE" and stfu ab SHop.

I prefer to think that he did the best he could...not maybe the best for the situation, but the best he could. I also prefer to let CBP make decision as to who takes the floor next year for the Vols. GBO
