Why is it, that we must, have to, regardless of the situation substitute at the 4 minute mark. Tonight we started fast, scoring 15 points in 4 minutes. We sub and it took us 20 minutes to score the next 20 points. Our average points per minute went from 4 to 1. Not saying it was anyones fault but it definitely alter the flow, momentum of the game. If we get off to a fast start like that can’t the starters play a little longer? I guess its a rule.

I see your point. I also see the point if the coaches managing playing time based on an overall approach to the game and season. The idea is to ensure the players have fresh legs when you need it most down the stretch. Then again, Storm Murphy played basically the entire game and it seemed to serve them well.

True. Good pt. Its a very predictable script. Probably trying to establish roles and get bench ready for tourney

The dissadvantage is that...its a script and easy to game plan against. Guaranteed that Anderson and Hien come in a 5 min mark to spell Bothwell and Gurley. Then Bothwell and Gurley go back in to spell 2 other starters

If I can figure this out imagine what other Teams are doing...

If Sad Din were coach, would start Hein with the other 4. Then when first break happens, only 1 frosh goes in (1 frosh and 1 former starter) This would even the load

Looks like coach took SD's advice to heart! Glad it worked!!
