I find it interesting that the last couple of seasons posters have been complaining about Geno playing his starters too many minutes. They won't have anything left come tournament time. Of course we know that's wrong. We made the final foiur last year with 7 or 8 players.

Now Geno starts subbing in the 1st quarter. He is playing his bench every game. The starters are playing around 20 -  25 minutes a game instead of 30 - 35. And the team is not racking up 80 to 90 points a game.

Geno is developing his very talented young players. Still complaints about the offense doesn't flow like it should are frequent. How many complaints have there been over the last few seasons that so and so is never going to get better if they don't get playing time in an actual game.

Geno has over 40 years of coaching experience. His track record speaks for itself. As Uconn approaches the SC and Tennessee games, Geno will shorten his rotation to 8 or 9.

You can't have both ways on these issues. Either Geno plays the staters 30 - 35 minutes to develop the chemistry or he subs in and gives the younger players valuable game experience.
