Message: [QUOTE="NycUcWbbFan, post: 5174743, member: 13453"] Imo, Geno knows his postseason 10-player rotation, and it is the [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/halfway-point-of-the-regular-season.204869/post-5166668']Noah’s Ark[/URL] [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/the-last-solid-uconn-front-court.204712/post-5161116'][I]TASSK-look-alike[/I][/URL] rotation. [LIST] [*]He will still tinker with specialized uses and harp on things, such as Oldude’s diamond press, better post-entry passes where Jana and Ice are most comfortable (Dorka had a similar complaint), better rebounding, coaxing the sublimated offense of Kaitlyn, harnessing KK, Aubrey, Ash and Morgan, harping on the Big 3 to be always in attack mode &1, better communication on team defense &1 etc. [*]He may or may not expand the five granddaddy read-react actions ([URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bvJI_J6U-c']Postgame @12:47[/URL]) that morph into down-river grandson actions involving a permutation of the five versatile players he has on the court; [*]He has not yet, to my recollection, used any permutation of a Big Lineup; [*]He has used many versions of replacing one non-Big 3 starter with a strategic player at a given time; this includes replacing Kaitlyn with Ash &1, as some have suggested for most scoring potential (but unsustainable over 40 minutes); [*]He will tone down on almost hockey substitutions (exposing his second five) unless the press is on or it is garbage time.
