In the interest of tossing a stink bomb in the middle of the party and/or p*ssing in the punchbowl, I'd like to offer some complete, random speculation that I know is an anathema on this board.
Personally, I think JF didn't play last night because of his T for hanging on the rim in the USD game. I think Fish had a long talk with JF after his third T and then JF promptly gets T'd up a fourth time. Fish didn't say a word. He just sat JF on the bench for the remaining 3 minutes of the game. And then he sat him for one game more just to make a point. I don't think it had anything to do with JF's back, but rather, it had everything to do with his head.
Discuss.

I think it had to do with Jamaal stopping at Jack in the Box to buy a couple tacos before the shoot around and not getting Fish any. Coach Fisher likes his Jack in the Box tacos and if you don't get him any you don't play.

Pretty sure Fish sat him because all he does is watch cartoons and plays basketball.

I'd sit my girlfriend for forgetting the taco sauce.

ltb...
I think you are clooser to the truth. Fish is done with his T's and no better time to prove a point then against a weaker opponent. He was jumping up down a lot for a dude with a bad back.

I would concur and At least give it some legs. Does make sense. Been waiting for coach to reel he and Winston in a bit and think more team and A little less selfish. Seems to be working better lately.

When I read that he was sitting I was wondering if it was related to the T's (not specifically the hanging on the rim, but the cumulative). My guess is that was maybe 10% of the reason but it was primarily the opponent and a chance to rest his aching back. Pretty much any other game and he is going to play. Fisher knows Franklin only goes 100% and with 3 games in 4 days wants Franklin as healthy as he can be.
I was really surprised (but shouldn't have been, really) how the team really missed him in the first half. We have a lot of great players on this team but Jamaal is the centerpiece.

I would much rather that be the reason, then JF having back spasms!!

I heard he only earned 2 gold stars for his book report, and Fisher wanted to send a message.

My season tickets are behind the Aztec bench, and during one of the time outs, Jamaal lifted his shirt up and he had a white square shaped package that covered most of his lower back. It looked like some sort ice or heat pack. The trainer looked like he was tightening the pack on his back with some tape... which looked like saran wrap.

He looked pretty fragile walking to greet players coming to the bench.. I know he's dramatic, but not that good..

Why are you bringing first hand knowledge that is based on logic onto Aztecmesa? You could get banned for that!! ;D

that may have been a part of the reason but can we take the information put forth by the trainer Tom Abdenour , Franklin has struggled with back pain all season, couldn't get loose in the morning shoot around, so He advised the coach to rest him with a long flight then a 3 game T coming up.
