Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4061837, member: 11020"] I believe that Geno and the other coaches are already recording scenarios on paper about different combinations on the court. Using a 6-7 player rotation the past few years hasn't worked to get that golden ring, and he knows that he now has the opportunity to increase that to at least 8-9. I'm sure he wants to cut the PT of his starters by 6-8 minutes, and I'm talking about ALL starters. If we don't have fresh players playing in the fourth quarter, we may never get that ring. The level of energy playing a team like SC could be twice as much as playing a team like Butler. So his biggest challenge is finding out who can play at this level right now, and how can he incorporate the new players with the returners. He knows what last years starters can do, so I don't think those players will change in the beginning, with the emphasis being who can play with the players already starting. He know the starters are good, so his challenge will be to find the right combinations for the minutes when starters are on the bench resting. The girls that prove they can play will play, and these players will get all the minutes that the team needs them to play. Simple as that, so changing the starting line-up will be a headache he does not have to deal with. For now, lets just say that can change later in the season if it is warranted, but integrating new players in the line-up is what playing practice games (BE games) is all about. [/QUOTE]
