Amelia blog: Mass lineup substitutions got messy in exhibitions

It sounds like Tubby finally is listening to some of us with regards to the 5-for-5 substitutions. If I never see one again (in Williams Arena) I'll be the happiest man on the planet.:)

If we are up 86-54 over WI with 1:38 left to play...I won't mind it.
 

I wish Mbakwe would have gotten more minutes in the exhibition. I realize they don't want to rush him back, but why not throw him in there in the exhibition games and just let him get the feel. Whatever though, he's got 5 or 6 games (can't remember) to get ready for Duke. Plenty of time :rolleyes:
 



I love the 5 man substitution

Good point. Then we'd be able to give the guys coming off a standing O.

But only when your team is sucking and the coach sends them a message or like the examples above of game over.

The way Tubby used it was perplexing.

I have no problem with the mass substitutions when we are planning on using the full court press for long portions of the game. I believe we are a team with enough solid players where we could potentially run some teams out of the gym.

Not sure if we have enough guards.
 




Elliot and mo would be the liabilities in the full court press, not our guards
 


If we ran the full court press all game we would have to tweak things. Only problem in my mind is if big mo could keep up? I hear what you are getting at though, I just don't see it as an issue the way you do

The first couple of years Tubby ran the press a lot, not so much the last couple of years. Do you think we will see a lot of it this year?
