Message: [QUOTE="Moose, post: 3075239, member: 1785"] I would like to get rid of the unwritten rules. We drove down from Canada to watch Maya Moore, a long trip, and when Geno took Maya out early we screamed for him to put her back in. That's probably the only time I'd seen UCONN live in the last 10 years and we wanted to see the starters play; it's so rare for us to get to watch womens basketball at that level and 40 minutes is not that long. If UCONN appreciates the work the bench puts in enough to reward them with minutes, that's fine, that's a UCONN team decision, but I don't see it as a sportsman-like thing to spare the feelings of the opposing team. It's about appreciating your own bench and protecting your starters. On another occasion, an opposing team pulled their starters in a game I was playing in. I found this insulting, like the other team was just so, so good we didn't deserve to be on the court with them. As a competitive athlete this then fuelled a fire to turn it up a knotch against the subs. [/QUOTE]
