For the sake of discussion, how do we think Rick divides the roster for practice and scrimmages ? Does this Coaching staff have the ability to substitute 5 for 5 ?

IMO, we will be substituting 5 for 5 next year and that might be the best way to get deep on the bench and figure out who has the hot hand on a given night.

The freshmen are very skilled. Ravern, Kodi, and Riley are all very good shooters. Also, Elgin is a skilled big man. These kids can play...............Practice starts soon.

ill thore out whatll be an unknown system.
Grinnell College, here in Iowa, plays 4 rotations of 5. each rotation plays for 2 minutes and runs like hell the entire time. its their goal to get a shot off in about 5 seconds. they play preventive defense and offer up the outside shot almost everytime hoping for numbers on the rebound. actually, they are instructed to give up the layup if the other team has held onto the ball for too long(like 15 seconds).
anyways, these guys end up scoring 140 150 160 points in a game as a result.
they are a small D3 team.

obviously, we arent anything like them and shouldnt play anything like that. but the substituting 5 for 5 comment just kinda sparked that thought of mine.

its a pretty cool thing to see really. ESPN actually televised a game versus Beloit(WI) College a couple years ago.

Good thoughts glfr.

If we're going to have 10 or more talented players then it seems to me like the most equitable way to handle PT would be to develop a mass substitution pattern where you could just play them in shifts before going with the most effective players as the game wears on.

It's not that big a deal this year but if you look at what we bring on paper with the Bost, Osby, Hopson class then it seems like the way to go.

It also helps to have a Maroon team that can practice against a White team. Just take the concept to games. I guarantee you the first team guys wouldn't want to open games poorly and give way to the other guys quickly.
