line up change

Is Geno ever going to make a line up change? Or is he going to keep rewarding players for playing bad?

You must take a nap when our bench comes in. Who in the world would you start and who would you replace. The only place possible to make a change would be AT for JP but 2 times zero is still zero. Might as well let JP get all the experience he can since I assume he'll be around 2 more years.
 
I'm guessing Geno is waiting for a bench player to defensively stop a starter in practice.

It's not a serious post wily....
 
No one on this team plays defense so that can't be the reason. DS,WL,DSE,TB,and sticks. He has to send a message to these kids.

Some people just don"t understand that A.T. is not better then J.P. and neither of them are very good plus D.S. has gotten limited minutes because he is too slow to be a good D-1 point guard, if D.S. could contribute he would be playing more because our starting guards could use more rest.

I think DS can contribute...but it seems likely that someone is trying to send him a message...but that is speculation on my part...
 
No one knows if DS can play or not he hasn't had a chance to play enough to know. I don't beleave it's because he can't play defense JP and SS can't play defense either and they start every game. We need a point guard in a bad way so lets try something different.
 
Sometimes a lineup change is just what the team needs...

I recall a losing streak that lapped over from December 2005 to Jan. 2006 then the coach announced every position was up for grabs -
On Jan. 14, JJ Tauai was moved into a starting spot, Bradley began to play differently, then better, and went on to win 12 or the next 15,
including then seven in a row from mid-Feb. to the MVC Tourney title game,
Then we went to the NCAA and made it to the Sweet 16...

Coaches can make teams better ....I have a LITTLE optimism it's gonna happen soon..

The problem is the 05-06 team had 4 guys on the bench that would start for this team. I just don't know who you put in/take out that gives a better chance to win. Eastman or Crawford for DSE? Thompson for Prosser?
 
If any switch should be made it's Jake into the starting lineup for Shayok, but I don't think that's even that great of a switch. I do believe that both DS and MK should be getting 4-8 minutes a game, but only because I think WL, DSE, and TB are being forced to play too many minutes right now.
 
Hate to post on this subject because I know it looks like any post asking for a lineup change is anti-Geno, and I am not in that crowd, but I would like to see DS and Milos get more playing time.
 
Chico I think you are right on -- a certain small group of people love to snipe at everything that they can twist as anti-Geno...yet they attacked JL's every move..
I don't think saying you'd like to see more of certain players as anti-anything -- you just want to win one..
 
When I look at the guards on the team, I think the right ones are getting the playing time. No way are we a better team with DS at the point and I don't want to see him out there. He is not the answer. Both Lemon and DSE always give the team more. If they need a breather I think Geno is right, Woods is our next best guard. It does not matter one bit that he is a walk-on. The best players play.

Get over Jim Les already! He left us in shambles and it will take a few years to right this ship. I loved Les as a player and would have loved for him to get us where he said he would as a coach but he did not so I am moving on and you should also.
 
I beleive geno is doing a good job only because, I have faith that he knows what hes doing, although i do question no minutes for a few guys that may develop either here or after they transfer because they are not playing.
