FWIW: Mike, D R & others who are jumping down my throat about Geno's denial that Ines, Amari & Ayanna attend UConn.... I am NOT saying that - at this point in the season Geno should put them in during tight games. Because you're right - they're "deer-in-the-headlights".
What I'm saying is that Geno does not DEVELOP his bench - by; 1. Making it clear that they must contribute in games. and 2. giving them the minutes to do this - starting in November each year.
Your basic self-fulfilling prophecy.
Finally, consider how hard it is to sit for 20, 30, 40 minutes then be asked to fire out and play at 90% or better.
Great article - as always Dan-O!
