[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 829777, member: 1199"] This whole debate about minutes is a bigger deal for college players than the public may realize. It was for me because I was not getting the minutes I thought I deserved given how hard I worked in practice. It is also a big deal for guys like Jose who never want to sit. Wright, Alvarado, and Devoe all averaged over 35 minutes per game. Usher averaged almost 30. No one on the FSU roster played that many minutes. For every minute those guys were on the bench I bet they had foul trouble or a minor injury that needed attention. They did not want to come out and their willingness (and ability) to give that effort with little rest convinced Pastner they were his best chance to win. My coach sat with me in his office and explained why I was not playing more. He told me what I needed to do and I certainly tried. The bottom line was that I simply did not have the ability or the physical strength to play more minutes at the college level. Pastner may have to have that kind of conversation with some of his guys. We'll see. He also might start playing ten guys. [/QUOTE]
