We had this thing in nuclear power called malicious compliance. It’s when you do what you’re told or follow the procedure even though you know it’s going to cause problems. You had to stop and elevate your concerns or you would be the one fired.

Many years ago I had a nephew playing basketball. I don’t know of any kid who worked harder to develop his game than that kid. I was at one of his high school freshman games to see him play and he didn’t really do much the first half. In the second half he looked to me like he was sulking. He played the whole game but didn’t do much. They lost.

Later when he and I were talking about the game he said he didn’t think his coach wanted him to shoot. Now, you need to know that he wasn’t just the best shooter on the team; he was the best shooter in the district. He also pointed fingers at his teammates.

The next day was a Saturday and I had him meet me on the basketball court. I began by telling him that I knew he was the best player on the court in the previous game which he was and then as much as it pained me to do it I told him he had played like a crybaby. He was blaming everyone else instead of taking responsibility for his play. He actually did start crying then which really hurt for me to have to do. We did some drills and shooting exercises and called it a day.

Tuesday was their next game. I showed up again. He had 28 points in the first half and after draining a three to start the second half he sat out the rest of the game because his coach didn’t want to run up the score on the other team. At the end of the season he was the first player named to the all-district team.

I think there was probably some dysfunction between Pruitt and Helton and Helton didn’t have the balls to stand up for the offense. Pruitt could push Helton around but there is no way Chaney will go along with something that goes against his better judgement. I actually think that’s why Pruitt hired him at whatever it was going to cost, and that I think is to Pruitt’s credit. jmo.

I remember Pruitt saying he was about chew out Helton for calling a end a round, but then Murphy popped it for 60 yards. I'm sure Helton experienced that alot last year. Also I think Pruitt respects Chaney alot more due to his body of work against alot of these defensive coordinators we will face. But Helton left his imprint on this program with his development of JG, who was God awful his first year.

Pruitt also admitted being upset when Helton called a certain play that ended up getting us to midfield to set up the UK hail mary. Not saying this to say who was right or wrong, hindsight is 20/20. But just that he definitely injected himself to the offense.

Lol. After arguing with AT&T for a month about not being allowed to purchase their broadband that crosses my property, I told the lady that I was sick of not being able to look up and view shows I had missed.
Her answer: Use your Directv video on demand.

Me: you mean the one that's internet based?

Still took her a minute.
