ESPN: Archuleta: 'I don't like getting lied to'

[Longtimefan]

Archuleta maintains the coaches aren't talking to him, and have never explained to him why he's not playing. They don't know what to say to him. There's no way they can bring him in and chastise him for not being able to do something they knew from the beginning he could not do. There is no way anyone will ever make me believe GW didn't know beforehand the weakness in AA's game was his coverage skills. Therefore you cannot say to him I'm sitting you down because you can't cover, because that wouldn't make sense. They made a mistake with Arch, and as hard as it may be for them to admit it, that's the bottom line. Rather than admit they made a mistake with him, they chose to say nothing, and it's that nothing that's eating away at him.
