I'm curious what makes you say that? 
 
I fall within the camp that this has not been JB's finest year, though in life I generally give most everyone the benefit of the doubt and I'll extend JB the same courtesy until the season is over; but I can think of plenty of seasons where JB has adjusted over the course of the year. In 07 he completely changed up his lineup right around the time we beat Gtown at home and got Andy major minutes. In 09 we played mostly man by the end of the year when the team finally got somewhat serious about defense. After Wisconsin hit their first 27 3's to start the second half last year I thought JB adjusted the zone to limit their opportunities and force them into some bad shots. In 03 JB took a ton of criticism for removing Pace from the lineup with one DNP in order to integrate Billy into the rotation. He took major amounts of criticism here for that. In 08 I was shocked at how many minutes Kristof earned by the end of the year. These major team adjustments over the course of several seasons are nothing compared to the game adjustments that he makes. We've had more than our fair share of improbably second half comebacks over the years. 
 
I'd love to see Cooney and Grant get more minutes over Triche and JS, but it's hard to fault someone too much for choosing to rely on the seniors that presumably should provide leadership versus relatively unproven first year players.
