There were a couple of factors that hurt being able to truly develop players this year.

Losing in Maui being the main one

Having a tough December schedule afterwards

After the loss in Maui the staff went all in on trying to find the best lineups because those December games became must wins. So instead of using those cupcake games as development games for seeing how to develop depth and get the most out of those guys it was used to see who our most ready lineup was to prepare for our December slate.

For reference, that 2011 team went undefeated in Maui and had a bunch of cupcakes in December. That December was the time period Jeremy Lamb started to come on and gain much necessary confidence before conference play because he was not good in November. Similar to Ross.

Ross didn’t get that because we couldn’t afford to have the patience to wait for things to click.

Don’t think that means he should be given up on after one season.
