Message: [QUOTE="Engineer90, post: 3276873, member: 9712"] You are 100% correct on the chemistry point. It amazes me how few people understand the importance of this. Unless a guy is a serious liability that will cause your team to start 0-10 in every game, give the older guy the start and especially if he is a risk of being a pouter. You can always pull him early and give the backup more minutes if that is what their contributions dictate. In fact, getting yanked can be as good of a teaching moment as not starting a guy. Obviously there are limits to this approach. Like I said, you don't start anyone that will be a serious liability relative to the alternative. But, if they are close, choose seniority and chemistry.
