Don MacLean’s Behavior Is Confusing to Readers, Both Young and Old

Wasn’t it bad enough that Trevor Wilson caused two UCLA losses last year as a result of his immaturity? Now Don MacLean follows his lead by drawing a technical for his senseless throwing of the ball at a fallen opponent. It not only cost UCLA the game, but probably the Pac-10 championship as well. Coach Jim Harrick not only appears to condone this behavior, but he sets the “monkey-see, monkey-do” standard.

Bill Frieder of Arizona State says UCLA should be a top-five team. Heck, with all that talent, even George Raveling could coach them into the Final Four.
