Crunch time minutes

[D J B]

Forget about minutes.

Two minutes left in a tie game. Who is on the floor:
PB

CW
AW
DJ
AE (First off the bench)

That's when the rubber meets the road.

I get all the initials but - who is AW?

And in crunch time - AE is not first off the bench. She's on the floor.

My bad. AW is EW

I was right on the fence with AE. Every time I watch her play, I like her more.

Players that will take the shot, can make the shot, play defense, hungry to win.

On
DJ Every Big 10 game she played was a battle, very unlike the American or Big East
EW Has everyone's back and is on a mission
PB She beat SC all by herself
CW She needs to play like last season's postseason all season.
The Freshman can shoot lights out and has been in enough international competition to be ready.
**AE see above

Bench
ONO Remember the AZ game?
NM Great defensively, but streaky offensively.
AG My favorite player, but not a crunch time player.
Everyone else Hopefully 2-3-4 develop into that crunch time player.

I’m guessing Evina Westbrook

Are we having yet another ONO love fest here? IMO she's on the floor until she proves she shouldn't be.

Obviously, it depends on who is playing well and shooting well in that particular game, which will vary from game to game. It also depends on who is in foul trouble. And it depends on the opponent and who is best equipped to defend the opponent's primary scoring threat(s).

My standard comment on all the "who starts?" threads is that Geno and Caroline Doty don't know, and probably won't know until the last week of preseason practice. Past performance and high school reputations are far less important than who does best in practice between October 15 and November 15.

And on the question that you pose here, Geno and Caroline Doty won't know the answer until the clock shows 2:00 in the 4th quarter. They could not answer the hypothetical question being stated here even if they were inclined to do so (which they aren't).

To be fair, she's on the floor until someone else proves she shouldn't be.

Everything you say is true. No one knows anything at this point, if ever. No one ever knows what's going to happen until it happens. Folks here are just playing a speculation game until there are actual games, actual players able to begin the season, and a reasonable reality for actual possibilities. Even then, it's still just a guessing game.

We're bored, we're playing a simple "what if". This is just fun and games for now. Let it be.

Geno basis critical minutes on who he can “trust”. The eight listed seems about right for the beginning of the season, but could easily see that expanded to ten, based on defensive performance. That may allow full court pressure which would be ideal!

Reading all these thread of. Who's starting? Who's first off the bench? Who's in at the end? Who's in at crunch time?

I think I have the definitive answer. Coach will start every game with, 5 player. Coach will end the game with, 5 players.

There may be moments where it looks as if he's trying to play with 4 or 6 players but only for a moment before he gets it sorted.

I'm betting Coach will move players on and off the floor. Whenever he wants.

I'm thinking coach will be utilizing 2 of the taller front line players more often than just 1 or 3 of the taller front line players.

I think that if Coach wants to play up tempo, 40 minutes of aggressive defense & offence, and can get the kids to buy in, we could see a rotation of more players.

Some of the BYers probably can make an educated guess because Coach over the years has expressed how he likes to approach the game and we see what he does every year.

With the kids he now has. I'm beside myself with anticipation. Looking forward to this season getting underway.

I think Geno is going to play 7 players at a time to ensure everyone gets minutes and to guarantee a championship.

A piece of advice: if you don’t think speculating is interesting or appropriate please put this thread on IGNORE.
