The only reason to start your second best pg is a) if your best pg is injured, b) if there is a need at another position. Especially if your best pg is the best pg in the world.
Starting Muhl means moving 3 other starters from their best position. That doesn't sound like Geno, who always wants to start his STRONGEST team. There is no reason to move Bueckers from the pg position EXCEPT to start Muhl and it makes no sense to leave Edwards as the only player over 6'1 on the court to start a game against SCar or any team with frontcourt depth.
Remember, I'm only talking about the starting team. Muhl could end up with the same minutes as the other 2 guards.
IMO this is all wrong.
First off you had previously implied/said on this thread that people are making things up to start Muhl. Well, that's exactly what you're doing with your 1st paragraph.
Second, since when has Geno ever been so narrowly tied down to position basketball as you are implying here? Whose to say you're definition of STRONGEST is what Geno thinks? I only ask that because yours and mine are different.
Third, UCONN doesn't play SC every game or every week. We applaud other teams for not changing their style when they play against UCONN. Well, other than an occasional game, it's okay if Geno doesn't change their starting lineup other that the top 2 or 3 teams for those very few elite teams with size. UCONN got to Final Four in 2020-2021 with Evina Westbrook as PF AND Paige Buckers playing non-PG for many games in which Paige was NPOY.
Let's remember, Geno did not have Paige play PG quite a bit once he put Muhl in the starting lineup in 2020-2021 in which Paige was a superstar. Muhl was the pg and Page was the SG. Then CWill moved from the SG to the SF. And then Evina moved from a perimeter player at Tenn to starter at the 4 at UCONN. This is 3 player's not playing to their top position?
This example Geno .has already shown us he is willing to do (go very small). Why is there so much effort being put forth trying to minimize Geno's past coaching, and especially Muhl's play? IMO way too many excuses trying so hard to minimize Muhl. I'm good with Paige/Azzi/Caroline 1/2/3 but way too much unnecessary fight if Muhl is in.
