Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 5077651, member: 6979"] my point is choosing to have an 8 or 9 man roster is a bad idea - yeah maybe player 9-13 are non-entities...but its better to have them than nothing. maybe they are actually good players, though, too (i know we havent had that lately...but it does happen frequently in the sport...that unheralded players actually are pretty good) the coaches planned on westry benny and mcleod all being key factors...and they werent ...and werent available for almost all of the season...but how can anyone predict that? better to make a contingency by having backups on the roster carey was needed in certain games but couldnt play as well point being [U]unexpected things happen[/U] dont even have to talk about foul trouble as well... why put yourself in a precarious sitation unnecessarily??? not sure why the coaches brough Hima back when thy clearly refused to use him at all...that was weird...i think it was more of a "loyalty family" thing am I happy that the coaches picked so many "duds" that had zero chance of helping the team last year? no. i think that was a huge mistake...which is my point...and needs to get beter if this staff wants to survive long term this weird kinda logic that players 9-13 dont usually do anything so just leave their spots unfilled makes no sense "if you have the right guys" thats something you wont know until the season is underway... what if youre wrong? what if things happen??? this whole convo is simple: do you purpusefully leave schoolies unfilled and go with a short bench? or do you fill all schollies? for me it is a no-brainer to fill them...for multiple reasons im sure cal would love it if all the other teams only used 8 or 9 schollies...and im sure he wont only fill 8 or 9, either guy is a charlatan why anyone drinks his koolaid is beyond me he had his pick of any high school player for 10 years and did zilch [/QUOTE]
