Message: [QUOTE="MuchoDogYears, post: 3363630, member: 5395"] Exactly. While I’m ok with sitting a player down if he gets two fouls in the first half, it makes no sense to sit a player in the 2nd half for foul “trouble”. Think about it. When you sit a player in the second half because you don’t want him to pick up his fourth foul, how is it different from the player sitting on the bench becuase he fouled out? Either way, the player isn’t in the game. No player should EVER be removed from a game in the 2nd half because they picked up their 3rd or 4th foul. That’s the height of insanity and at some point a coach with uncommon smarts will figure that out. To maximize a player’s time on the court you have to keep him on the court until the game ends or he fouls out. Case closed. Until that uncommonly smart (metrics driven) coach comes along and changes everything, all coaches will continue to make this bonehead move, cutting off their own nose to spite their face. [/QUOTE]
