I'm sure this is a coincidence, but here is the scenario. My Junior center, Lyles, has always pulled around a 2.6 GPA without SH minutes. Began the season as the starter, pulled in a 2.5 for the first term. I benched him for my Soph center after 12 games, but he still got the same minutes, just off the bench.

Mid-term grades come in for the second term, and he has a 1.1 GPA! Talk about getting ****** about being benched. Does anyone else think a drop of 2.5 GPA to 1.1 GPA is a bit extreme for a Junior, and is there any chance that I'm wrong and it is somehow tied to him losing his starting spot?

I often see a junior-year dip, I guess classes get hard. Don't see any relation to PT other than how PT affects their WE.

That's weird. I don't put any minutes into SH for my upper classman, and I think it has only been a issue one time. That stinks.

Follow-up.... 65 minutes put into SH from mid-term to final grades got him up to a 2.1.
