Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4461594, member: 3834"] You left out (imo) another reason why Geno doesn’t put the bench players in sooner. Geno has long been quoted as saying that playing time is earned in practice. I believe Amari’s lack of playing time (for example) is likely due to her effort in practice. Geno imo, does not want to reward poor practice habits/effort/performance! Now some may argue that is cutting off your nose…. , but I’m not so sure. He is playing the long game and may be reluctant to change that policy for the short term. He seems to have done all right so far and I am willing/happy to give him the benefit of the doubt. His and CD’s attention to the culture they have created here at UConn is one of the things (a very big part, imo) that has allowed this team to become the greatest Women’s Basketball Program in history! Changing core principles for short term success is fraught with danger! [/QUOTE]
