  • MyOhMighty Said:
And let's watch the substitution pattern, which I think has been idiosyncratic. In the Boston game, 10 Bison players played in the first 10 minutes. Many different line-up combinations are being used. I don't know if this is strategy or just an attempt to find something that works in the particular moment. But, basketball is a game of rhythm and flow, and I think for some players this type of substitution philosophy could feel disruptive. It's not hockey.




You may recall that ND did the same thing last year, often using 11 or 12 players in the first 10 minutes. I didn't like it and agree it can be disruptive. It was only in the latter part of the season last year when he shortened the rotation to nine or ten, with Robertson, Azzinaro, O'Reilly, and Jones (until West Virginia) seeing their minutes reduced or eliminated.
