Put your superstar on the bench. As a coach you cannot pull your superstar out for lack of effort and then put him right back in. You have to be willing to give up a game for a lesson learned. (hopefully your bench can still pull it out) TJD came out lazy and disengaged. In fact several of the players did. Archie frequently pulls those kids out and then puts them back in unless they are a reserve, then they never come back on the court. The problem is Archie would do so much better if he held his starters to a higher standard than his bench. That strategy sounds like the typical high school coach who is trying to keep the important people in the community happy by not embarrassing their son. The problem is you will also lose your bench kids because they see the double standard in treatment and your star player will be come a spoiled prima donna who thinks he can get away with things. I think he does a very good job, is a hard worker, nice man and he likes kids. He just isn't willing to bench them for the rest of the game and that is why he is having trouble getting IU to play consistently.
