I agree with Sike; I'm concerned about this relationship. I love Rick, but he's inconsistent in what he expects out of his players. Troy Murphy is force fed minutes while absolutely killing the team for large stretches, while Collison is yanked all over the place any time he makes a mistake.
It has to be especially frustrating for Collison because he had the same situation last year, and I assume he thought he was going to get a little more leash on a team like this before he started getting sent to the bench for every mistake.
And as Sike said, it's not that I feel sorry for Collison. In fact, I think he needs to adjust his attitude and stop acting like being brought off the bench is the same as actually being benched. But I do, like Sike, question whether this is really the best approach in this situation.
