Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 4104292, member: 1673"] I repeatedly posted how impressive the starting five is. I repeatedly expressed my support for Auriemma developing a 9 player rotation. In addressing someone’s concerns about Muhl’s minutes I offered this as the context. She is caught in the middle. She is not going to get starter’s minutes because the current starting five is fantastic, while other minutes are going towards developing the potential of players. I consoled that Muhl’s current value is worth more than the minutes she is getting, and would have received if the game was tight. Thus is partly evidenced by the fact that though she was the fourth sub in she got the second most sub minutes, partly evidenced by the Arkansas run that cut the lead to four fell more on the shoulders of the newcomer subs, partly evidenced that she had 2assists and zero turnovers, while Fudd had zero assists over 19 minutes, on a team where all the starters were shooting over 50%, and one turnover. I am positive if we calculated +/- for the players Muhl’s would be higher than Fudd’s. So to challenge what my posts have been all about, you would have to establish that Fudd got the most minutes precisely because she was bringing more value to the team for that game and not because she is a tremendous talent whose potential needs to be developed for our best future. The only hint of such a challenge was pointing out Fudd shot better. Otherwise you have consistently shifted the focus away from comparative worth of subs for that one game to comparisons to other starters, hypotheticals about offensive efficiency, ignoring the defensive comparison until this last post, and past anecdotal situations that do not apply to this context. By the way, we went undefeated Jefferson’s sophomore year and maintained a high offensive efficiency rating throughout, somehow I’m never moved by what the posts of what disgruntled BYers say but, regardless, this situational anecdote of Jefferson is but another deflection away from the true focus if you wish to challenge the assertion I have constantly and unmistakably reiterated. You know I hold your analytical capabilities in the highest esteem. I have said so. So when you keep missing the point of my consolation as to why Muhl did not get the sub minutes her comparative performance for that one game would otherwise deserve, I have to assume it’s for other reasons than you are incapable of fathoming the point I made and what that requires for you to challenge. Your various deflections away from that, all designed to place Muhl in a lesser light, must have other motivations behind it. [/QUOTE]
