Arguments like Kuester and Prince had are common. They’re just not common in front of the media. That’s because the player and coach usually get along well enough to control when they argue.

Maybe this argument was a small spat between a pair of people who respect each other. But maybe Prince has a probelm with Kuester.

There’s some evidence for the latter, not much for the former.

Tay has been in a position over the last couple of years, where he has been asked to step up the plate, in a leadership role. He has declined and resisted. That is not Tayshawn Prince. Tay needs to be led and will defer to a stronger personality. I think he is confused by what role he is supposed to play on the team, in it’s current structure. And as I mentioned earlier, he is being outplayed and out hustled.

It’s unfortunate that he has been injured, but back injuries are extremely hard to diagnois and treat. They also occur and manifest themselves when an individual is under stress or pressure.

And that would be precisely where Tayshawn Prince finds himself today.  Low self esteem, poor physical condition and having to compete for his job.  Time for Tay to go back to fundamentals, bust his ass and get some self respect back.
