That's apparently been a problem for Marty as long as he's been at UE. Post players are used as screeners and always play second fiddle to whoever Marty has for a perimeter shooter.
Respect is a 2-way street. Marty doesn't seem to show any level of confidence in his front court players. It seems he's had most of them transfer out after a year or two.
I haven't watched enough UE games to be able to say whether there are plays set up to capitalize on Mock's skills. From what I've seen previously, I thought Mock was in a position to challenge Tuttle for the best post player in the league.
If Marty isn't trusting Mock's on-court abilities and asking him to mainly set screens for perimeter players, then I wouldn't blame Mock for not showing much respect for Marty. It's a 2-way street.
