Personally, I would like to stick with the new 6-man rotation for now, mainly because it worked so well Wed and is the only rotation that has worked this year against a good team (unless you count Monmouth).  Also, it's our most athletic rotation and gets Roberson the major minutes he needs as the team's best rebounder and best defender.  If you give DC minutes, then Roby will be the one that will lose out.  You can't touch Lydon's minutes--it's important that he gets his 38-40 to keep the best offensive players in the game the whole time.  And you can't argue that he could take some of Thompson's minutes, as TT only played 5 on Wed---if anything, he is the one that needs more, which complicates matters even more.  (in essence, Wed was really only a 5-man rotation).  So I like your thought track, but would give TT the extra minutes today, not DC.  And I have nothing personal against Coleman, especially since he has worked his butt off the past couple years coming back from the injury.  As you know I was at the UCONN game, where he was the best player we had on the floor that night.  It's just finding the right formula, and JB has had a few nice tourney runs with very tight rotations, so maybe that is the way to go. (and there will games when we get a few bigs in foul trouble, so we certainly haven't seen the last of DC by any means).
