Posted Feb 4, 2009
"I wanted [Marcus Ginyard] to come back and play, and I think he wanted to come back and play. So the focus was trying to rehab, but all of a sudden it's February 2nd and you've got 6 or 7 or 8 regular season games left, it's just not what's best for the young man. And this is the biggest factor, he still has pain, and that's the bottom line. Coach Smith told me a long time ago, off the court you've got to do what's best for young man."
