I am not sure where you are getting that from but it's troubling and I don't notice it. I like Wright off the bench too but I also like Shepherd off the bench :-). We really don't have a viable option at the wing. I really don’t think we have players playing for “headlines instead of wins”.

But Illinois was a bad win. I see too many players playing for headlines instead of wins. The byproduct of having a little bit of success I guess. We play much better when everybody stays within the offense. I think the short term solution would be to start Shepherd and bring Wright off the bench. On a good note, D and Rebounding definately continue to impress. I like the limitation of the 1-3-1. We really don't have the personel to run it consistently yet. We’ve had good losses.

Jalen as never proven to take money Give me one reason why Jalen should not have been asked back. Aram, you are wrong on many accounts and your bias is evident. Jalen as never proven to take money

It's universally acknowledged, for instance, that the John Wooden teams were dirty as hell and recruits were bought, but damned if UCLA will renounce those championships. After the 10 years are over, why not put the banners back? Very few programs have fallen on their sword like we did with regard to that era.

Webber will be cheered on the Michigan court again! And I'll be there to do it. And let's be clear, it was not the Fab Five that got these benefits it was just Webber. Don't impugn Howard, Rose, King, and Jackson because Webber made a mistake. I don’t know about the banners, but the one thing I do know is that time heals all wounds.

He was the only Fab Fiver to not play in the NBA. However, when he was at Michigan I loved him because him and Jimmy were both very consistent. Ray Allen was the 5th overall pick out of Connecticut in '96. Matt-

The one thing that I think you got right was that the Final Four Banners and NIT banner will never be back. That is our punishment because Ed Martin enabled our students to make bad choices. The Fab Five are Michigan Men not outcasts. I will be there the day they all stand united at center court in Crisler. Aram, I almost entirely disagree with you.

Who can forget he black socks, black shoes and baggy shorts? These guys were my heroes; I don't give a fuck if they took some money from some guy handing it out. I think there are more than a few people that few that way that are just afraid of the PC Police. Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Allen are a basketball institution, regardless of what Ed Martin did or didn't do with their (naive) help. It's time to restore some pride around these parts. I love what Jalen is doing and hope he continues to show the love, show that he's a "Michigan Man" through and through.

Period. Every game after Mayce Webber took the hotel room from Ed Martin at the 1992 Final Four until the North Carolina game the next season never happened. Jalen should be pleased he got to come back, because it never should have happened in the first place, no matter how many scholarships he endowed. If he really thinks Michigan is going to put those banners back up and trot Chris Webber out there after he is allowed by the NCAA to associate with Michigan again (2013), he's delusional. It will never happen. The banners will never be back, and they should never be back. Period.
