Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2466965, member: 488"] Our best lineup in 2015 was Boat, Purvis, Hamilton, Amida and somebody else. Our best lineup last season was Jalen, Vital, Purvis, Facey, and Brimah. He started Facey and even Nolan a number of times when it was clear they weren't part of our best five, he brought Jalen off the bench when there was an argument for him to start his frosh year, and last season he would bring Purvis off the bench. Now, on a team that is extremely thin, he's rotating Vital and Larrier through the dog house as if we have time to screw around. I can't imagine how this board can complain about slow starts and then not make this connection. In 2013 and 2014 there was the same problem, but we (deservedly) gave him a pass because it was unrealistic to play Giff at the five for big minutes. Now I'm starting to think that was just him lucking his way into something. I see no world in which it makes sense to ever play Diarra and Cobb together. The offense is handicapped as it is without 60% of the starting five (if we're including Anderson) not being able to shoot from three or really even put the ball on the floor. [/QUOTE]
