I’ve coached a bit … evertything from second graders up to pretty good high school teams … I’ve played basketball on some pretty good teams, elementary school, junior varsity, varsity B squad, A squad - 4th place MN State tournament team, BLEW my knee out before college started, etc… So I know a bit …
SO … in my humble opinion, most of the time as a coach and as a player, you need to be in the top eight to play anyways …
SO …. I THINK THE ANNOUNCERS NEED TO PICK A NEW LINE BECAUSE THE SQUADS ARE SO SHORTHANDED….
Most of the time you wanna play your top five players most of the game … you mix in your six player to provide a spark here and there, or if in foul trouble … player seven and eight are there to supplement the first five that are in foul trouble … after that, you just let the gameplay ….
Thank you for listening, but this line about these guys are so tired and they’re not gonna be able to make it and what are we gonna do and everything else is a bunch of baloney because these are top of the world college athletes some say professional - they’re not gonna drop over from fatigue … don’t worry if they gotta play 40 minutes again - they’re not gonna fall over … They’re fine ….thank you for listening.
