Message: [QUOTE="cferraro04, post: 4067472, member: 267"] Many boneyarders have written over this summer about the distribution of minutes among this talented group of players. There has been much disagreement because as the amateurs that we are...we try to give every player some minutes thinking if we don't they will leave the program. However, what we don't understand is how Geno and staff will approach this situation. Everything is conjecture on our part. Geno may shorten his bench and go with a 7-8 person line-up and let the remaining 9-13 develop the competitiveness needed to break into the line-up. Maybe he will opt to give everyone some minutes. Maybe he will adopt a wholesale substitution pattern where he establishes a starting 5 and then brings in 5 players at a time as a second team if you will. I doubt he will adopt the wholesale first team / second team approach but, he certainly has the talent to do so if he wishes. If I were the starting five I wouldn't get lazy and piss Geno off because he has the options to bench anybody who he feels isn't working up to expectations. In any case let me say that I like being in the position where we have so many options available to our coaching staff. This is a very deep team and I am extremely excited and looking forward to watching this team grow and develop into what I believe will be one of UConn's best ever teams. [/QUOTE]
