I don't understand your first line.  I said there was no way we would ever know.

That having been said, the answer to your frontcourt question is Roscoe would have gotten the minutes alongside AO -- yes, he wanted to be a 3 but that's where the minutes were -- and we would have been fine.  Heck, because we lost Roscoe mentally, Tyler ended up being the third man in the rotation with Drummond and AO, so Tyler being the back up big was where we ended up anyway.

No one is arguing that if you are looking to establish "fault," AO is the logical starting place.  But I'm looking at the alternative.  There was little reason to think AO wouldn't have continued his improvement, and shown some leadership, if his coach didn't tell him at the beginning of the season thanks for being such a huge part of a national championship but now I need you to totally play differently and outside your comfort zone so I can accomodate this one and done who doesn't have a ring and won't be here for your senior year.  Fault -- yes, AO's.  But it's not hard to understand why a young man reacted that way either.
