Why does Carmody choose not put in the game both Cohen and Stevens with a minute plus to go and a 16 point lead.
I do not understand that. I really don't. Give the kids their first college action.
If I were the parents of either kid, it would be very disappointed.

Because he is the coach and until we are told differently either does not think they are ready for his system or something else. I have no idea what that so.ethong else is.
Benzan played little last year...suddenly he is killing it. Let's trust the guy.
We won.

Cohen not in uniform or even in attendance as best as I could tell. Maybe sick or is something else going on?

I ihink he subbed in Husek and Champion in the last minute. All I could think is Carmody is practicing an end of the game last minute situation

Yes. Courtesy.....or, if you prefer, "a nice gesture".

It's similar to some coaches starting all the seniors for their last home game.......even if they have not "earned" a starting spot.
That's not soft. That's classy.

It was a senior coach I once heard say garbage minutes are just that, garbage. If you want to give a kid minutes put him in a couple minutes when it counts. Garbage time is for the walkons.

I noticed Cohen not there early on but thought perhaps I just could not see him. Late injury? Not even at game, on bench or in the stands.
On the bright side how about a shout out for the Matts. They put together a nice line!
The "trust" five seem to be RC, MA, PB, KC and AT. Sixth man MH. Seventh man JF. Eight man MZ.

I think CBC is playing the guys who are his best defenders right now...The Frosh in general are not in a full mode on D, and JF makes mistakes on the D...I believe that is why Ziggy is not playing as much, his D is not at the level of the guys out there...
The D looks really good about now...It is looking more and more like the Willard defenses, ans today really confused SCS...Sunday will be a good test, Monmouth is a very good team and that game will be a good measuring stick for the team..
It was great to see a game in the "New Hart Center". The place looks great. Banners and flags back up, the court really stands out in the building and the new hoops make the place look like a college gym..It is a much more fan friendly place now. The new lobby is very bright and inviting, and the ticketing area is much more functional...I just wish there were more concession stands, the single one just can't handle the crowd...It is nice to see the marketing area, about time to sell some HC gear at a game!

Have to be honest, when I saw MH and RChamp checking back in with about 30 seconds or so to go I thought "why risk an injury?". I thought maybe because SCS was continuing to pressure right up to the end.
I'm hoping Stevens can develop enough to get a few minutes down the road, because (and I was saying this last year too) I really wish they had one more body with some size to rotate in in certain situations.

MH didn't really get minutes till Jr year. JS may be on similar trajectory.

Well, you just made a rather big distinction. None of the frosh are seniors, so the analogy is inapt. It also is not senior night. Cheers. |

PB barely got run as a frosh and is garnering significant minutes as a soph and playing quite well. Much ado about nothing at this point in time. Can we stop coddling these kids and finding injustice for kids getting full rides where no injustice exists. |

With a nod to Dan Hawkins- last I checked this was DIVISION 1 basketball. Not intramurals. If the frosh want to get PT, they need to prove they deserve it. And I'm sure they realize this.
