Message: [QUOTE="Charliebball, post: 2504441, member: 6831"] I suppose there are two philosophies when it comes to playing freshmen..........Geno's is that if we can't fully trust you in practice you won't see the floor in a game..............other coaches just throw them out there in a sink or swim situation.................I've seen a number of freshmen getting significant minutes and make big contributions already this year...................was it because they were good enough to get those minutes from the start or did the coach simply have no choice with a limited bench? I would bet that if any of the four freshman saw serious minutes on day one you would see a heck of a lot on mistakes but eventually they would get it and their abilities would shine..................UConn is lucky enough not to have to rely on freshmen.................perhaps Geno would employ a different philosophy if he had to...............
