Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 5437217, member: 966"] I won’t argue the logic in following the most successful models, but… those final four teams could possibly do what they do because they have the talent and coaching/preparation to do that. We don’t have final four talent or coaching. So, winning a maximum number of games at our level might require a different model. This is like saying one Kenyan can run a marathon in a time of x, but to cover the same ground, it would take twenty schmucks running shorter relay sprints to do the same time. Another way to put it is that if you’re not sure who your stars are, you don’t have any. And yet another, more practical way—one of the guys we thought was just a roster filler last year ended up starting a good number of games. If he hadn’t gotten any minutes until he was ‘forced’ into usefulness, would he have been as prepared? [/QUOTE]
