Sympathy for Shields in one respect

The high degree of turnover among players at Little Rock is perhaps my biggest criticism of Steve Shields as a coach. That HAS to improve.

However, I must admit one aspect of the turnover where I sympathize entirely with him. He does not seem to be willing to put up with self-centered, smart-aleck type players. And I must admit that those type players disgust me, also. I don't like them; I do not like to root for them. I find it hard to root for a team that has them prominently in their make-up. I had much rather be a fair team with unselfish, hard-working players than hugely successful with a bunch of "me" players.
