Shane called efren a "coward" or similar word when efren wanted to play 9 ball instead of 10 ball at the dcc earlier this year. He said to efren something to the affect of play a real man's game, 10 ball, not 9 ball.
Why doesn't Shane play efren a real man's game: One pocket. Efren already played Shane his game. It should go the other way now, especially since its obvious Efren has not been a top 9 ball/10 ball player for at least 5 years now.
I actually think its a shame for Shane to not play all the games. He is the best chance for a new all around BEST player. He obviously loves pool, is not lazy, and has good habits.
I'd love to see him get hooked up with Artie B and really learn one pocket. He would be the best player for the next 30 years, even after his 10 ball game goes down due to older age, as we are now witnessing with Efren.
In the end we all want to see great pool. Shane is the best hope we have of it, if he would work on all the games. He could become the closest thing to the next efren.
