I'm not singling anybody out for less minutes. I believe the rotation should be based on who is producing in a game to game basis. If X or JHS is cold, (or anyone else), sub them out with someone who will produce. Even starters have an off nite once in a while.

I'm not crazy about the platoon subbing pattern, because the 2nd platoon has no feel for the game whatsoever. Could take several possessions to aclimate and adjust.

IF Woody does indeed, want to play faster, then more subbing may be appropriate to give guys a blow more often. But until I see it, I doubt if we'll play all that fast. (would love to see it, as it's entertaining, but you better be able to shoot...)

Ten guys doesn’t mean platoon though. If ten guys play and you adjust minutes throughout, that’s still a ten man rotation.

No, but I have always been in favor if using a 8 man rotation.  I don't like a lot of subbing especially in close games and I feel constant subbing will not allow your team to get in a rythm.

So you want an 8 man rotation or a 10 man rotation?

You are kind of saying both things. Realistically though, the two you mentioned are terrible candidates to play zero/limited minutes. You’re going to have 120 minutes 1-3 and if those two aren’t getting any I’m not sure how you get anywhere close to 120 from those spots.

I would rather play an 8 man rotation and I play  your best players regardless of experience.

JHS 

Bates 

Johnson 

TJD 

Race 

JG 

Reneau

Banks 

The three guards and Banks take the minutes for the 1-3 and you can sub to where they don't play huge minutes.

TJD, Race and Reneau take the minutes at 4-5.  I know it won't happen but if you look at team the lady few years who ayed in the final four most players 7-8 players.

You think Miller Kopp should get mop up minutes?

That's not going to happen...

I’m all for tightening the rotation in certain games and in the tournament, no issue there.

The way you’re suggesting it happen though just flat out doesn’t make sense at all. 120 minutes from X, JHS, Bates, and Banks is asking a ton.

And 80 minutes for TJD, Race, Reneau, and Geronimo might be fine, but if you’re shortening the rotation why not play 3 guys there and 5 guys 1-3?

My personal opinion is you’ll rarely see a lineup without two ball handlers and playmakers, which means JHS, X and Galloway are probably splitting 80 between the three of them. That leaves about 40 for Kopp, Bates, and Banks to split. Obviously in certain games and situations you probably won’t see them all play.

Down low you probably would see Geronimo squeezed out in certain situations and let TJD, MR and Race play all 80.

Just my two cents.

For JG for minutes at the 4-5

Shortening the rotation will:

- open the door to dissension, inner turmoil in the team, and push players that the staff worked hard to recruit towards the portal 

- not keep players ready to step up when the inevitable injuries happen

- wear down the 7-8 who are playing the minutes.

I’m with @btownqb. Shortening should be situational. Gotta keep this talent we’ve accumulated.

Scott funnels his thoughts through the lens of how it would work out for him in his over 50 church league, not modern basketball. 

Is last year's final four old school.

UNC all starters played 30+ minutes, 3 played 10+ minutes and one of them only played 12 games and transfered.

Duke 6 players 24+ and 3 of those over 30+. 2 players 11 minutes 

KU 6 22+ and 3 of those were 30+. 2 8-12 minutes 

Villanova 6 25+ 3 over 30 minutes. 3 8-10 minutes.

The rest of their rosters only got minutes in mop up minutes or in blowouts in non conference.

Also I played church league from 17-35 years old

You do what is best for the team and not worry about players feelings. If the best is to play 10+ players fine but most really good teams don't play many players.

My other question is why can't things succeed today that worked back in the day.  The game is still 40 minutes long and you have 5 TV timeouts like it use to be. If the kids are in better shape and more athletic, why can't they play big minutes like those lazy slobs of the 80's and 90's.

You’ve never managed people before, have you?

 I knew you were going to make a “back in the day “ reference regarding this topic.

Players today are exerting tremendous energy, effort, and stress on their bodies. Among other things, the shot clock has sped up the game. As such, there is the need for periodic breaks to recoup.

Lots of other variables play into this as well. Travel time to meet crazy television schedules don’t help. Playing year round takes a toll as well.

I didn’t fact check all of this, but I started with UNC since you did. They had 12 guys play 14 or more games. That doesn’t align to what you’re saying or asking for.

Actually the pace of the game is slower today even with a shot clock

They calculate mpg with just the total games played. I never said those players never saw the court but I would bet about 3 or 4 of those guys only played in mop up roles or in blowouts. If you just look at mpg those minutes will be over 200 minutes.  You see guys averaging 4-5 minutes and played like 14 games I bet those weren't meaningful minutes
