You win this discussion if I had said Cooney should play 40 minutes. But I didn't. I would love for him to get a few minutes rest each half. I cringe however to think of Rak & G playing 2 on 5 for more than a minute or two. Who gives Rak a rest and contributes? Who gives G a rest and contributes? Therein is our biggest problem this year. Our subs are frosh, & sophs and the walking wounded. Look how well did Louisville do with only one of their guards suspended. Rak toyed with their subs for their bigs. Their guards couldn't hit open 3's nor penetrate most of the game.

Ron gave up easy fastbreak layups last night and that just can't happen. He is also no threat whatsoever except on the break. On the break he is tremendous in getting the ball where we can score. Otherwise his defender begs him to shoot by packing into the lane. They do the same with Joseph and Roberson. I am not sure opposing team can get any more players packed into the lane in this scenario. Duke did that and how did Rak do? (I am conveniently not talking about the muggings he endured 'cause Duke doesn't foul ;)).

My biggest problem with many (maybe you are not one of them) is the accusations of Cooney being selfish, a chucker, someone who shouldn't shoot even if wide open, someone who shouldn't shoot a curl when that is exactly what the play is run for, etc.
