Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2700553, member: 5798"] Good point. Sometimes fans forget that in addition to not understanding Geno's scheme's enough to enter a game, and not be a liability, and not yet having made the adjustments necessary to play with the first unit, freshman are also faced with the dilemma of having several older and more experienced teammates that were former HS All Americans and/or Miss (state) Basketball type players in front of them on the depth chart. This is not always the case at other programs where sometimes freshmen come in and flourish right away, i.e, Chennedy Carter (TA&M) and Evina Westbrook (Tennessee). Any given year, the UConn starting until is always a tough one to crack, even for returning players. It usally features 1-2 United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) ALL Americans, and 1-2 [B]AAC[/B] all conference players as well. Freshman coming into the program understand this, as they've been forewarned by coaches and players alike. We must not forget one of the oldest rules in any sport at any level. [B]If you want more playing time, YOU have move out the player in front of you. [/B]You want more playing time, play better than the player in front of you. All coaches want to win as many games as possible each year. They're going to put the BEST 5 players on the floor that give them "the best chance to win"!!! [/QUOTE]
