Each starter has an on-paper backup. (Yeah, I know UConn plays positionless basketball.) And each backup (KK, Ash, Morgan, Aubrey, and Ice), other than Morgan, has previously been a starter. Morgan is who Geno refers to as a basketball player. Apart from the Big 3 and Kaitlyn and KK, the amount of minutes for the 5 other players will be based strategically on a particular game. [LIST] [*]Like the TASSK team, everyone on the 10-player rotation are all or nearly and near-evenly seasoned contributors; [*]For [U]9 of the remaining 11[/U] regular season games and [U]5 of the possible 9[/U] postseason games, I don’t see that Geno will depart markedly from the minutes distribution &1 of this 10-player rotation; [*]For the [U]harder games[/U], the Big 3 will play more minutes than their current average; the seven other players will play more or less (or not at all) minutes than their season average &1 depending on who has it that night or if matchups do or don’t require a player that night; [*]Geno uses the substitution levers to strategically change a game, and he [U]has quite the farm system[/U] to play with. [/LIST] The 10-player rotation enables and is enabled by UConn being nearly a pick-your-poison team, fully aggressive in [U]both offense and defense[/U] (with multiple opponent shotclock violations); [LIST] [*]the [B]number of possessions[/B] remain the same ([B]68 possessions[/B]) among the [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/uconn-oregon-state-postgame-thread.203757/post-5126905']November games[/URL], the [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/seton-hall-postgame-thread.205044/post-5172821']Seton Hall[/URL] game and the [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/file:///Post%20in%20thread%20%27Villanova%20Postgame%20Thread%27']Villanova[/URL] game.
