Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3707450, member: 3535"] Why? How counter-productive was it for South Carolina last year? I'm neutral on who starts. But in regards to minutes- sure "it can be counter-productive" but it can be "counter-productive" if you lose in an early big season game if you didn't play her as much and she was really good or as a coach you become too cautious with potential superstars. Then while you see for example South Carolina's young players tearing it up - then eventually you open up the door for other coaches/teams to get that foot in the door for the next "Stewart/Maya/DT/Bird." Anyhow I think no way no way any comparison can be done vs the great amazing supreme Sue Bird. I'm with ya. But on the flip side not all freshmen should be treated with kid gloves early. I would think it being more "stubborn" than anything if the rule you don't budge from is "she is a frosh and my rule is no more than 20 minutes." If she is really really really good - play her.
