No but Ollie just needs to short leash every fukkin body who isn't putting in all out effort (JC style). Those that allow blow-bys, not boxing out, not hustling, unforced errors, stupid mistakes, etc.. give them the hook.
The ball not going in the basket is one thing but not playing UConn defense or using the escalator is contrary to his teaching, and he needs to let them know that in the first few minutes.
I can live with Cassell, Omar, Nolan getting big minutes if a message is being sent. Its now time to straighten up and fly right.
He played well off the bench last yearI wouldn't be against starting JA at point and shifting Gibbs to shooting guard but that would make me a bit nervous about Purvis. He seems to be super emotional/needs confidence to play well and I could see being benched as a major blow for him.
He's been doing this to a certain extent which is why we've had some squirrely subs.No but Ollie just needs to short leash every fukkin body who isn't putting in all out effort (JC style).

When? He started in almost all of his big games.He played well off the bench last year

He came off the bench in the middle of the year for a bit, dont remember how many games, but the Stanford thru Cincy game (maybe even longer) was one stretch.When? He started in almost all of his big games.
JC had no issue benching the "star" to prove a point.
Yup, it's just perfect. We get down by 20, put Jalen in and claw our way back to make it close and eventually lose.It was pretty telling with Jalen in at the end of the game instead of Sterling. I don't think you see any changes to the starting line up though. Jalen is a perfect spark off the bench
Makes sense but how do you think Gibbs would react? That's my number one concern.I've personally been calling for Adams to start over Gibbs for a couple games now.
You have a point...what are the chances Gibbs has had someone point him to the BY? Maybe he's just as frustrated with some of y'all as some of y'all are with him?
