The odd thing about this line of thought is that I always perceived that Coach K and the staff were TRYING to get McBob to think of himself as the man and act accordingly but he just seemed uncomfortable being that guy. A little strange that he would have a problem thinking of himself as the man in the pros when he clearly did not have that problem in college. Or so it seems to me ...

You make a good point, and I think my use "The Man" concept was off the mark. I think your feeling that Josh was more comfortable as a supporting player when the coaches wanted him to step up and lead is accurate. What I am trying to articulate is the gulf between what a coaching staff thinks about a player and what a player thinks of himself. Perhaps the pro Josh became is exactly the role he wanted to play at Duke but, as you say, the coaches expected more.

Does the NBA not have a waiver process like MLB or the NHL, where a player cannot be shuffled back and forth so much unless clearing waivers first? Seems like an up and down season for miles...

Good question. Miles is on the 15-man roster of the Pacers. Only 12 players (13?) can be active for any game. Therefore, those players can be shuttled back and forth to the D League. At least it gives them playing time. And,... and,... they get their full NBA salary.

And I believe there is also a rule that says if a player is added to the roster 3 separate times throughout the season, then he can't be sent down again? Didn't this happen to Lance last year?

I assume this means added to the 15-man roster, not the 12-man active?

Not entirely sure, but there seems to be something to restrict the shuffling.

I believe you're confusing the 10-day contracts that free agent players can sign with Miles' situation, where he is under a full contract.

That's the one.

Thanks, Ozzie.
