In response to palestra38
I like Goodman. Love that he pushes the ball -- giving us a chance at some easy baskets. Clearly a quick athlete.
Point wasn't so much to contrast the two (coaches have to make decisions, and you can see positives from Goodman).
Instead, it was to argue that these decisions rarely come down to one player being a starting guard, and one player not being good enough. Situation, coaching decisions, players development curves, lots of things go into it, and lots of players never meet their potential -- it's the nature of college hoops. Still good players.
It's why I have mixed feelings about our rotation this year -- on one hand, we gave a lot of guys a chance to prove they are head-and-shoulders above their teammates (most weren't). On the other hand, the inconsistent rotations make me wonder if we put flawed-but-potentially-us eful players in good situations to succeed. Not sure.
That's why being a coach is so hard.
