I probably would have given Nolan the turnover on the catch. But at the same time, a PG should always be aware of his own personnel. A guy who just checked in and who hasn't played in a while might not be game-ready to make a catch like that. Better off letting him chase after a rebound to get into the flow of the game - or, if you want to get him involved, giving him a simple entry pass and let him try a post move.
If Seton Hall misses that first three after he checked in, or if Boat made his, maybe he would have gotten a little more playing time. Can't argue with the hook when he got it - but pulling him after 45 seconds and one mistake on one possession, before he even got his bearings, might have been a bit rough. Would be like letting someone pinch hit and pulling him with an 0-1 count.
We also didn't have to let Seton Hall go on an 11-0 run after Nolan went to the bench either. We stop the bleeding there and win by a comfortable 15, then nobody even remembers the play outside the Nolan family. Even with that run, we still won by 11, so we overcame any disaster that Nolan managed to create in his 90 seconds on the floor and got outta there with a nice road win. No harm, no foul.
I think things would be slightly better if EW got a couple more minutes in various situations last season. Of course who could have predicted what happened at the end of last season.
