Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 5135002, member: 37"] Love Reed just as much as Samson and I'm ambivalent who starts. If one of them isn't playing well or gets into foul trouble the other needs to get more minutes. That's all I care about. The only thing I'm expanding on the debate is Samson is being coached to hedge and block shots. He can only do that if the other four players react to the player he defends if that player cuts to the basket. And the other four players have to help with rebounding. I don't think many people in this forum examine the failure of the other team players on the court as well as Samson. They are just as responsible for opposing teams getting second and third chances. If Hurley can't find a supporting group that can do their part in how Samson is being coached then Samson role will have to be changed. I believe Hass, Ross and Stewart playing with Samson can be an effective lineup. Mahaney, Ball and McNeeley on the other hand have been a problem. [/QUOTE]
