[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 194598, member: 630"] I used to hate it when Bobby Cremins talked about "chemistry." I thought chemistry was a code word for "I don't know how to coach them, so they need to play together and figure it out on their own." Bobby was a leader, but he was no x's and o's genius. But there is truth to "chemistry." The players do need to get used to each others habits, strengths and weaknesses--and develop chemistry. Playing time together as a starting 5 unit does that. The ajc reported that 10 GT players played in the first 10 minutes of the Tennessee game. Against ETSU, no player played more than 29 minutes. Constant substituting. Contrast that with Kentucky last night against Boston U. 3 players played more than 30 minutes-more like in the 34-35 minute range. Another guy played 29. I believe it is fair to say that UK has plenty of depth. Calapari knows that his best players need to play together to develop chemistry. Gregory needs to pick out his top 5 and they should be getting 160 minutes per game. 2 or 3 others should be getting the other 40, unless it is a blowout. He can't help himself. The end of game foul against ETSU has been discussed ad infinitum. It's just another example of his overcoaching. His teams seem to understand fundamentals, but the floor coaching is questionable. Maybe he should stay in the locker room and watch on TV. [/QUOTE]
