As a senior, Cubillan was the best shooter on a team where he was third in minutes. (Outside of Otule who played three games.)  A team with DJO, Lazar and Jimmy.

Actually, Acker’s went up fro 13 to 16 minutes per game. Cooby’s minuteswent down because he was still adjusting to off season surgery.

You’re right about Acker’s minutes. They were up slightly on the season but only because James got hurt and he was forced into a starting role for the final 7 games.

You contend Cubillan’s minutes went down because he was adjusting to off season surgery. Maybe, but he was 100% cleared to play. I’d say his minutes went down because he played so poorly. Shooting guards who shoot 27% from the field usually don’t play a lot.

There is an underlying issue that would move this ongoing risk miles in the right direction.

Is your faith or the doctrines of the church fundamentally altered if celibacy were abolished?
 To me it wouldn't affect much of anything but the underlying institutional problem. Consider that:

1) a priest is required to take a vow of celibacy but going in he gets little training on his sexuality or how to cope with the human urges which will still exist, in the face of this contrary to nature vow.

Then:
2) a priest may keep the vow without incident (but maybe it will have some side effects) congrats;
3) a priest will closet his vow breaking with straight sex, sometimes with vulnerable women;
4) a priest will closet his vow breaking by either having or beginning homosexual sex with other men, sometimes priests;
5) a priest will closet his vow breaking by pursuit and actions on feelings of pedophilia; or
6) like any discussion of sexual preference, there is a spectrum of the above categories which may arise over time

It would seem all church leaders were reared up and are rowing the same familiar boat of celibacy which leads them to instinctively protect the celibacy institution by internally recognizing that the above options have and will occur but that the myth of perfect celibacy, obedience to God and to holy vows made require the institution not only accommodate but make it policy to secrete vow breaking and leave victims behind in the world of such enforced silence. Regardless of the priest's chosen vow breaking category, or even vow compliance none have an incentive to break with the others, the shelter/meal ticket system, their leaders or the codes of silence.

A simple question arises...What if celibacy was abolished? What if sexual activity became an open book? Why not, in one action, eliminate the personal and institutional denial and secretion of vow breaking.

 Sure, hate the sin but love the sinner. Why did we ever expect even on a vow taking that priests could achieve the perfect. I think less of someone hiding from the truth of fallibility and am happy to assist the honest.

My faith my love my devotion has never been improved one wit by celibacy. Actually, it seems arcane and quite peripheral to the core of Christianity...kind of like the circus show of the Vatican's incense pot swing. 

Please avoid noting errors or picking at the periphery ....and answer:
Q: Why not just abolish celibacy?

Yeah the Catholic Church has done a lot of good and charitable work. But then it takes a position on things like IVF and makes you go…what?

My point here isn’t to debate IVF, but to point out that you can’t lift yourself up constantly as having THE answers to guide your life yet fall down so completely and repeatedly on pedophilia.

The Church should be grateful that so many care so much about it that people are willing to overlook the hypocrisy of its leadership. A lot of organizations do charitable work without burdening its supporters like that.
