Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4067501, member: 5823"] "Almost" everything is conjecture on our part. What is not conjecture is Geno 30+ years of coaching history and an unwavering philosophy. His history tells us that he will play as many players as are capable of positively impacting the game and his unwavering philosophy reminds us minutes are earned not given. Wholesale substitutions is not a part of Geno philosophy because it heavily conflicts with another part of his philosophy which is "individual" accountability. In other words Geno has no issues yanking and benching players who has missed an assignment or is not playing well. The reason that conflicts with wholesale substitutions is because if the entire team is not playing well and "requires" wholesale substitutions you are probably not watching a Geno Auriemma coached team. A corollary to the individual accountability part of Geno's philosophy is leadership must come from the upperclassmen and/or the PG position. [/QUOTE]
