Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4693783, member: 3535"] Ther;e is a lot to this how you describe it. Geno started Doty her senrior year but she played less than soem of the bench player's I believe. So, in the last 4 games of NCAA's in her sr year she palyed between 3 and 13 minutes despite starting. SO how improitant is "starting?" The above is a also a case which can be said is that geno may have wanted firepower off the bench. So by not starting the player but that player gets more minutes, how big of an issue is it? Geno also started Nika over AUbrey 2nd half of Nika's frosh year. In this case, the better palyer was Aubrey but for the team need the better fit was Nika. And yet how many predicted Nika would start? So, yet in this case it certainly does show that earning playing time was a fact and that starting Nika vs the A/A (I realize Nika could not be an A/A but it's clear she hasn't the "talent" vs Aubrey) is what you say above. in descrbign the pitch a coach can make [/QUOTE]
