[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 609533, member: 2784"] He should have rested Lammers more regardless of the options. Finding minutes you can steal is one of the things that makes a good coach. The biggest thing with Lammers is he made a bet that Lammers could play though his injury and that one blew up on him. Not the end of the world but I would quibble with him on that one. Even last year with the big 3, I would like to see him find minutes to sit folks. If for no other reason that guys that know they are playing 38 minutes play like they have to make it through 38 minutes and will take minutes off on their own anyway. Doesn't mean you have to go 9 or 10 deep to play fast on offense. And number of possessions is really a secondary issue. The primary issue is that defense takes at least 2X the amount of energy as offense - and if you are trying to play pressure D then it is 3X or more. One advantage of our zone is that we are not really playing a pressure D and aren't chasing guys through picks all over the court. So theoretically we wouldn't have to go more than 8 deep and still be able to play at a faster tempo than we have. But in order to really play faster on the offensive end we are going to have to improve our defensive rebounding and causing turnovers. We were negative in both rebounding margin and turnover margin. Or if you want to look at advanced stats we were number 279 in the country in defensive rebounding percentage. You have to rebound the ball or create a live ball turnover to consistently be able to get out and run - and we sucked at both. CJP has said he doesn't want to play zone as much as he did last year. If we play more man (which is generally better at defensive rebounding) but have to expend more energy doing it then we likely will have to play deeper into the roster than we did last year - especially if we try to also run on offense. That seems to be where CJP wants to head. Whether he follows through or reverts back to 6 man Josh is TBD. [/QUOTE]
