Professional coaches, or even close to it, questioning the judgment of professional coaches about things that are complex, nuanced, layered and all those things. It's just great.

How many good coaches/teams put the two worst players in their rotation

Did you email Pope and let him know?

No need. Pope definitely lurking here and scraping some good intel

Lol, who cares. It’s working. You don’t fix something that isn’t broke.

Hey, this is the CB way. Someone has to be ticked up 24/7. Even after a blowout

CB when football was 5-2 is back.

Hall is still hurting. His minutes need to be limited. He played 25 minutes vs

I'm not an expert on this, but I think Hall's ankle probably feels the same

Such a brilliant point... Hey Holmoe, can you fire Pope and hire BGRTHNUMEGO?

I don’t think he planned on playing him that long. But he bad to in order to win

And thank goodness he didn’t start hall because then you gotta think pope mightv

He comes off the bench so he's available for crunch time w/ his limited minutes

You are definitely right about one important thing

LifeLongLakerFan

11/16/23 2:05pm

Is it possible Hall is still hurt and that’s why he isn’t starting?

Cougforgood

11/16/23 1:08pm

In the post-game show, Robinson said Hall is still hurt

That's not how 20 minutes of basketball each half works. You don't have to

I'm guessing at least one of these players played some big minutes vs SDSU

BYU Fan

I'm guessing who one of the players is you are referring to, but not the other.

Waterman and Stewart

BYU '80

11/16/23 1:10pm

Waterman does a LOT besides score points. He's playing great. And he's 6'11''

runnincoug

11/16/23 1:17pm

Waterman is not one of the best five which is what the post was pointing at

BYU '80

Well it said rotation. So we’re both wrong.

BYU '80

11/16/23 2:02pm

What BYUMizzou said, but regardless, if the question is why is Noah playing ...

runnincoug

11/16/23 1:27pm

I would say a top 8 player. He is an offensive liability

I guess you mean Stewart and Waterman?

Heath Squashwell

11/16/23 1:09pm

Who do you consider the two starters who are the 2 worst players on the team?

BYUMizzou

11/16/23 1:11pm

There's a very low probability that the starting 5 now will be the starting 5 in January

#1 PG is injured. No question Hall is better. Other spot is more complicated but NW is earning his 19 minutes. RB star.
