Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4092517, member: 1131"] If a younger player consistently outperforms a senior who has been a multi-year starter both in practice and in games against good competition, then eventually that younger player will get significantly more minutes than the senior. BUT, long-term starters will get a lot more leeway before they are displaced than someone like Lorin Dixon or Saniya Chong who had not been a regular starter in the past. Even in cases such as you are describing, I think it's likely that Geno would start the senior and then sub in the younger player after a few minutes, as he did when Caroline Doty (that would be "CD2") was a senior. Nicole Wolff was another example of Geno using that approach -- she worked harder than anyone in practice, but for some reason couldn't deliver offensively in games. Unless, of course, he thought that the senior needed an attitude adjustment. I don't think that is the case with Liv or Christyn. [/QUOTE]
