I've started developing a dislike for Tyler Haws - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

and I'm trying to understand why. I just plain don't like the way he plays basketball, I think.

1. He plays lousy defense.
2. He's way too small an unathletic to guard small forwards
3. He has had more perimeter jump shots blocked than anyone I can remember. What in the world is going on his mind that he thinks he can shoot over guys he can't shoot over?
4. He's selfish.
5. He's a ballstopper. See #4.
6. He's increasingly a volume shooter.

But he has that all-american mormon boy appeal that no one seems to really hate him.

When Matt Carlino misses shots, people get upset. When Haws misses shots, they say "keep shooting, you'll get out of this slump." Carlino actually does play defense. Carlino has improved his body in the past year.

I'm not saying Carlino is better. I'm saying why aren't more people pointing the finger at Haws when it comes to this team's losing ways?

We all know Haws has choked in the biggest games. The last-second shot against Texas was a notable exception. How can you be the team's leader when you aren't performing when the lights are the brightest?

STOP FORCING UP S**T SHOTS!!
