Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4218520, member: 15"] One of my all-time favorite posters on the Boneyard used the handle Scotter. I thought he was the absolute best at analyzing UConn players, understanding how UConn played and how Geno coached. Unfortunately he doesn't post here anymore. Anyhow, several years ago he gave the best explanation of Geno's approach to player rotation and using his bench. I was able to find the post from 2012 shortly after UConn's loss to ND in the 2012 Final Four: [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/genos-use-of-subs.17380/']Geno's use of Subs[/URL]. Post #23 in the thread. Scotter correctly observed that Geno's player rotation goes as deep as his roster demands. In some years that has meant only 6 or 7 players. I believe as this year's team moves forward in the BET and the NCAAT we will see Geno play the 9 players we saw play last night. Each of those players will demand playing time by how she has performed this year, often through a lot of adversity. Of course the minutes will vary, depending on match-ups, foul trouble, who is playing well and who isn't, etc. The good news is that Geno will have options on the bench he can trust. [/QUOTE]
