This is very true. The only counter point is that by doing it some of the time it will make us more prone to mistakes. I would like to think coaching it up well would make it a net positive to mix it up a bit more.

I still have ptsd from watching joe Holmes man the point at manhattan in a must win game. Walbash cannonball going to ruin my sleep tonight.

And they can reasonably argue that quads are arbitrary and way overblown and that they would never lose multiple games by 35 points.

I have always argued that quads are a lazy and somewhat arbitrary tool. This year it could play to our favor if the selection folks are truly so lazy to use it.

We cannot get complacent with a 15 point lead and play random lineups just because a guy or two have two fouls. We can afford to take one guy out of a seven man core rotation into the half with three fouls. Esoecially when one of them is a veteran and extremely important at breaking the press and making them pay for the press.

Two words needed. Rollie Worster.

That is the lineup I said is best a couple posts prior.

Essegian needs to play more. We need to have court spacers out there. Allows more room for Gary and Williams to operate. They way hoiberg is shooting it I think our best unit is one without either true point guard. They just cannot make an open shot. Big 10 guards need to be able to.

Got a little too complacent when got up big and Iowa got lucky as hell when sanford made brick off back iron that never should go in. Gave him confidence somehow and we didn’t react to it very well.

With the current lineup there is lot more pressure on Gary and Rollie to score. Gary shot looks a bit smoother this year to my eye. Rollie really needs to make those wide open threes that he can step into. We go from good team to great team if he can start doing that.

I loved how they kept showing Griffiths with a smile on his face after Gary would make a mockery of someone less than athletic than he is by the rim. Sort of a I hope the gal I am interested in does not dig him or I am screwed type of look.

I never really thought of Williams as an NBA player, but I think he has a shot.
