"Coach, any reason Patterson didn't see playing time tonight?"

Looking at the glass half full-- maybe DC will see that he's got to be stellar on D to get quality minutes. He is anything but at this point. After a big scoring night he's still gonna sit unless he picks it up where it counts.

I know it probably doesn't accomplish jack squat, but I was hoping/waiting for Boeheim to pull the old "5 brand new guys at the scorers table" move. Use walkons for 3 minutes. Send a message. Maybe I watch too many movies

He should've put in Ollie. ("Hoosiers")

First time I've ever truly 100% questions JB's coaching.

Coleman finally puts together a complete performance, and he benches him.

I'm beginning to think that Coleman's development hasn't been stunted do to an inability to learn fundamentals as a big man etc.

It's because he doesn't see the court enough.

He won't get better by riding the pine. Kieta and Rak are not half good enough to justify benching him in a game like this. Kieta hurt our offense and rebounding a lot tonight. His fouls were lazy and frankly pathetic. He made it look like he was guarding Shaq.

Rak meanwhile, does not rebound and is invisible on offense.

Coleman's rebounding, scoring and ENERGY are what we needed tonight, and what coleman as a player needed. Instead of letting his experience and confidence grow, JB benches him.

Awful.
