What would be the harm in resting him a 2-4 minutes once in awhile though?  Seriously?

I posted this in another thread, here are the scores against power conference teams with Cooney on the bench (Florida State was definitely walk-on time, so not much significance with that one...not sure on a couple others, but Michigan, Pitt, etc...were all in the midst of competitive games):

Michigan: 10-7 w/ Cooney off the floor
St. Johns: 2-2
Georgia Tech: 3-6
Florida State: 0-5
Clemson: 5-2
Pitt: 8-2

I'm seeing a trend...and that trend is NOT that we score zero points every single time.

It's not like we wouldn't be able to inbound the ball.  Other people would score.  Just like in other games.  We're not better with him off the floor, but we might be better if he had a rest once in a bit.  I wouldn't argue with people that thought getting Rak a minute or two here or there were out of their minds either.  The game didn't fall to pieces during Okobohs minutes yesterday.

What is so terrifying about Cooney sitting to some people?  I would wager to guess Christmas or G could still score if they wanted.....even with Cooney, dare I say it, on the bench.
