Scot know we don’t know I haven’t had a chance to stop to Scotty yet since I’ve been back um I know he’s been continuing his rehab uh um I I’ve always said back issues are are one of the toughest to really um flatter on to in terms of how you how you how you rehab it how you get it right uh The Last Resort for the back and really injured was surgery you want to do everything you can except to have surgery and uh uh so I don’t really know where Scotty is at this point he was not good at all um before we left for expired he was he had taken a turn for the worst since the semi-finals the last conference and uh uh just having trouble standing up and walking around so we don’t know where he is at this point um I’ll talk to him in the next couple days and figure out uh he may miss some time we we we’ll figure that out but he got’s got him if he can possibly play he’s going to figure out a way to play but it’s kind of like we have to hold him back we have to be the ones who say no Scotty you can’t and uh if you’ll never admit that you can’t you just got that kind of personality so and you know yeah I said it before the before the uh uh op started that everyone knows how much I Rely personally from coaching time I’m Scot you know I mean everything’s built around through him so it was a big loss for us and uh uh heers we had to move players around put them in different position especially Dwight and uh I think we could have gotten more out of Dwight if he had been in a natural position but having to play out of position he is still great he’s always great but being on a scale of one to 10 he’s a 10 and maybe his comfortable position maybe an eight in an uncomfortable position so um that’s kind of what we were forced to do with him and Scotty would have [Music] obliviated and just that just that extra energy guy you know get to the third game the fourth game that energy guy continues to push everybody else so I really missed him I mean I I’ll always miss guys he’s one of a kind the only other guy that I can compare him with is Johnny Johnny I have Johnny too same kind of same kind of feeling with Scotty but I’ll be happy to talk in dep and deas and on the 15th got lots to say all right okay thanks
