The Braves are 6-2 when playing without a regular starting guard.
I have a theory of why this might be the case....
How effective do you think a stringent rotation is? On numerous occasions I have seen someone like DA with a hot shooting hand and he is pulled (i assume due to Jim's rotation). I understand the reason for the rotation but it seems counter productive to pull your hot shooter. Is this just me or has anyone else noticed it and have similar frustrations...maybe I am in my own world. :-) So with less guards there is less rotation and less chance of having the hot shooter pulled.
With this said I think Jim and staff have done a outstanding job. I just wonder what points I might be missing on this observation.
Of course another reason for the success without a starting guard (i.e ruffin and now crouch) is due to the entire team stepping up their game when they know that a starter is missing...the margin of error is less and mentally the team has to be stronger.
Thanks everyone for your input on this message board. I enjoy all of your posts and insights regarding the greatest college basketball program in the country (okay in my eyes!)
