Well, the Alabama coach did switch out a starter so the untested freshman could play.  And he did give the two freshman he references every offensive play of the second half in the biggest game of the year.  That is a lot different than giving a freshman 4 minutes against East Carolina, with nothing on the line.  I love Geno and his style of developing teenage basketball stars.  But his methaphor in this case is a bit exaggerated.  I believe he would see a lot more progress if he granted these young players a lot more responsibility.  However, I do " get it." If they don't have total command of the UCONN system, if they aren't working hard, you can't give it to them.  They will be fine.  I think a great analogy is Crystal...she was the top point guard coming out of HS and had a good, yet " mixed" freshman season.  She returned as the best point guard in the college game, as a second year player.  The same may happen with our 2017/2018 bench players.
