There is a method for proving something and you didn't come close. Hell, even the scientific method often relies on statistics. And, when it does, it makes a claim on truth with some percentage of confidence. Even scientific "facts" are sometimes not "facts" but statistical claims. Also, you conveniently focus on the last 5 years. First, 5 data points isn't proving anything, anywhere, ever. Second, you know damn well there were teams before that which did utilized a deep bench, UConn included. You are so hell bent on winning the argument that you are not being honest with yourself. Lastly, there are a variety of reasons why a short bench can win championships. First, maybe the team only has 5 or 6 good players and those players were good enough to beat everyone, even with tired legs. Second, a team could have a deep bench that would have won the championship by even larger margins but was still able to beat everyone with only 5 or 6 players because, again, they were still better than the competition, even on tired legs. As for Geno and every other GOAT, even they are wrong a small percentage of the time. Again, if you asked him, he, himself would admit that. Not sure why this is such a big deal for you. And, no, I was never "harsh". I was just throwing a thought out there for discussion. The fact that it countered what Geno was currently doing does not make it "harsh". People are way too sensitive and protective of their heroes. And this is coming from someone that damn near worships the guy. [/QUOTE]
