In response to Penndemonium
Dingle hasn't had much of a chance? Come on. He is averaging 25 min a game (starter minutes) and has career lows in almost every category. They don't have a "closer" and have a losing record in single digit games (5-6). At some point JD has to be a basketball player. No one at the level he is playing (or hopes to play) is going to structure their offense around him. He has to go score, defend, and distribute with high efficiency in whatever situation/system he is playing. Another school would be the same problem.
I love the kid, but this isn't Pitino's fault or the system's fault. Dingle hasn't shown the killer instinct you need to play at a higher level. If we are honest, he didn't take over in key, close games, at Penn either. The Princeton losses being examples 1,2 and 3.
I hope he turns his enormous talent loose at some point down the stretch at St Johns.
