Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2255365, member: 591"] To 69's point - or Curt Millers, I suppose - it is very true. In UConn's case, a long bench may mean there are some very talented players not getting to play through their mistakes and growing pains, at least in meaningful minutes. For other programs, it may mean that a very serviceable player never gets the opportunity to show what they really could do, given the opportunity, because unfortunately the opportunity never comes. When finally pressed into service by need, some shine (as indicated by Chong), others (including a number of RU players over the years) do contribute, and some, well, end up not developing at all. And incidentally, CVS is not known for letting players in her program play through mistakes. [/QUOTE]
