One of the things I liked last year on how KO managed a game was that he stayed with a hot hand. If someone (or some play) was working he stayed with it. This year he's moved away from that. Both in this game and the last, UConn was playing great toi start, built a lead, and rather than staying with the lineup, he sat most of the starters. The game quickly shifted, fouls, piled up and by the time the starters got back in the mojo was gone.
That's one of the things I never liked about JC's game management, he'd get a lead and (playing with house money) sub the players who got him the lead.
Hoping KO goes back to his NBA roots, plays that hot hand until it cools off. College coaches play not to lose, that's what made KO a breath of fresh air, he wasn't afraid to play to win. Don't auto sit players with 2 fouls, don't go away from the hot hand, etc.
