I think (I could of course, be wrong, of course) that Red envisioned a deep squad where he could platoon the players, have a fast paced offense, be able to pressure opponents, thrive in transition, be unselfish, tiring out opponents by having fresh legs and energy not just in games, but into the late season. I think he brought in players to actually play, believing that depth would be a real factor in our games. Remember JB didn’t use all his scholarships knowing that 8 players would probably play most of the minutes in the season. The other 2 or 3 players would get just early season minutes saving one or 2 for walkons and he was criticized here for his short rotation. It looks like Red wanted to change up things, hoping to keep the entire team engaged, motivated and working hard with them knowing that they would play a role with decent minutes. He then could use varied matchups dependent on the opponent too. Sadly so far it hasn’t clicked with the kids. Under JB there was just 13 scholarships, now there are 15.
