Rick Barnes took Chaz Lanier out of the Texas game Saturday 11 seconds into the 2nd half and when asked why, explained “I took him out the first play of the second half because he didn’t shoot the ball, that play is designed for that shot. I told him, “If you’re not going to do what you’re getting paid to do, then you’re going to sit over here.” Because he is getting paid to do that.”

He’s not wrong. In the end that’s what paying players brings. They are well paid employees now. Not just “kids”. A double edged sword.

True but he's not paid to shoot, he's paid to do as coached. I'm sure he was coached to take the shot so it all washes out as the same but Just a bad turn of phrase for Barnes.
