That's the problem.. We don't have the bench to pull kids when they make mistakes for coaching reasons.. Other teams do.. And its all not about scoring.. Fred is on of our better defenders. has the size, speed and length to guard the 2 and the 3. Im sure he has had to even guard the 4 at times.Quote:

Hell, I'd be ok with Roq getting the most minutes. He might not be as good on D but he doesn't make stupid ass fouls with .00000001 seconds left in the half and his offense doesn't cost us 0-18 runs.
This is false. We have 11 basketball players not eight. Maybe just ten now that it sounds like Ray ran off Alabama's Mr. Basketball. We have plenty of bench to be able to pull a player after bad decision making.Quote:

How many college or high school teams do you watch who have a full bench, but still only play 8-10 guys? Lots of them.

The key to me is the flexibility to go beyond that if/when you NEED to. Ray doesn't have that. So, when players aren't there mentally, are lazy, practice badly, etc -- he can't exactly bench them to teach them a lesson yet. IMO that contributes to the faltering we're seeing going down the stretch here.Quote:
