Answers part 8

Q: Bad news, Jill. You will be banished to an island where you will be forced to live the rest of your days. You will have to survive by collecting coconut, catching fish and learning to build a fire without matches or a lighter. As if that wasn't bad enough, you'll have to choose one other person to live with on the island...and your only choices are: Brian Dohn or Scott Wolf You MUST choose one and justify your choice!
A: Who's the best cook? Next time, how about a choice between Friday Night Lights actor Taylor Kitsch or Josh Holloway of Lost? Now, that's a tough one.

Q: Do you think the UCLA basketball team would be better off if Collison and Holiday become the two predominant options on offense and Shipp takes fewer shots?
A: Yes, I think those guys can create in so many different ways, not only for themselves but others and they can both take the ball to the hoop. If Shipp is making shots early, I don't have a problem with it if he keeps shooting.

Q: Do you think anyone on the current UCLA basketball team has the potential to be an exceptional defensive player similar to Luc or Westbrook on last year's team?
A: Absolutely. Jrue Holiday. He's strong, athletic and quick.

Q: Who do you think is the weakest link in the UCLA basketball team's starting lineup?
A: I think the starting lineup is pretty solid, but I think the better question might be who's the weakest link on the bench? UCLA needs quality depth if it's going to go far in the NCAA Tournament. I think Nikola Dragovic is probably the weakest link right now because he's not playing good defense and he's made only 22 percent of his 3-point shots this season.

Q: Is it true that Craft is trying out for basketball? He should fit right in with the turnover-prone hoopsters?
A: I think he should have enough to deal with during football's offseason.

Q: Do assistant coaches have the same rules in regards to contact as Nueheisel, Chow or Walker?
A: Yes. If one coach makes a call to a recruit during weeks where only one contact is allowed, then no one else on the staff can make contact. However, a coach can make a call and pass the phone around to other assistants, and that counts as only one call. But the rules aren't different whether you're Rick Neuheisel or Reggie Moore. And remember, a recruit can call UCLA coaches as well. No limit there.

Q: What do you think is the biggest weakness right now for the Bruins in basketball? And do you think they will fix that problem before March because i think this team has a lot of potential.
A: Addressed a weakness in previous question. Do I think they'll figure it out before March? Well, the freshmen will be a lot better and not as turnover-prone. J'mison Morgan might be in shape by then. But do you mean figure it out in time to return to the Final Four? I don't know about that.

Q: Nice a Haiku
Will Jill respond in kind?
A: I don't do Haiku.
I guess I could just this once
I make exceptions
