One MVC Game tonight, Thursday, Feb. 8

I clearly said....

BUT- it's not just playing them the most minutes on the team-

but somehow that's the only factor you addressed..
and Darrell Brown is the only one playing that many minutes - Bradley does not have all their most valuable players getting overplayed..
but the real key to your comparisons with Bradley, UC-D and whomever is -
HOW many of their guys are repeatedly injured DURING GAMES and causing the staff to moan about injuries?

[Da Coach]

If you were coach, would you have gone with no discipline and started a player who just had to be bailed out the day before? Especially one with the prior history of multiple legal and team issues like MY has? It does seem Muller is extremely light on discipline.

Maybe somebody can help fill in the details......remember when Morton had the great team led by Kevin Bontempts and was scheduled to play Peoria Central in the sectional? I think the Year was 1978 or 79. Central had the Jordan twins who were in trouble for theft, yet miraculously were cleared to play the Morton game, and Morton lost. People still talk about that set of circumstances and how the Jordan brothers were allowed to play.

Here are few of the details from an old thread-

Unfortunately, Kelvin Jordan passed away several years ago at a very young age-

ISU's Big 3 ...

UC-Davis's Big 3...

Duke's Big 3......

btw, I find it interesting that you chose those two schools to compare to while I was making a sensible comparison within the MVC

ISU has 12 players who have split the minutes, while UC-Davis has only 11 - both teams have had various reasons players were ineligible...
Duke's situation is entirely different since they lose a bunch every year and bring in NBA-caliber athletes.

and when Deontae Hawkins had a DUI during the 2016-17 season, he started and played the very next game in violation of your own student Athletic Code, and several ISU players have had marijuana arrests. The track record at ISU even has your own fans repeatedly discussing the terrible character issues there.
Also- there's at least a dozen other ISU players who are logged in the database as skipping out of court dates - many of whom have now left town and obviously just plan on remaining a fugitive & defying the legal system indefinitely. To my knowledge, Bradley has never had even one such example.

I follow Jim Benson on twitter

- he tweeted TWICE about Yarbrough's presence warming up & in the lineup and the reason is obvious.

...the ONLY thing that matters is how healthy your team is gonna be the first week in March - right?)

Yup - and give Brian Warle & the rest of the staff full credit -
he spread out the playing time, rested the injured guys - maybe even took a loss or two by sticking to his plan but....
but when March came, we were the best conditioned team, the rested team, the healthiest team, the deepest team and the best team
...Rocky would be proud...
