Of course I would say that - you're missing the point entirely.  I've said multiple times we've need a player like Buddy, and Buddy now, for years and years. Buddy is phenomenal and coming along much better than expected.

Of course coaches will do it "if necessary."  If it is necessary, I truly hope they do do it - it kinda seems like common sense.

Why do you keep throwing out individual coaches?  Do you want me to go research this stuff just to be mean?  I'm talking about my opinion on Syracuse.  I could care less about UVA or Duke.

[B]Fine, last year:[/B]
GUY:  35 MPG in conference (likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")
Hunter:  33 MPG (likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")
Jerome:  32 MPG (likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")
8 players over 10 MPG in conference (some likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")

Probably undefeated if they always just played their best players 40 MPG.  Stupid, Bennett.

[B]This year:[/B]
Clark:  39 MPG (likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")
Key:  36 MPG (likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")
Diakite: 32 MPG (likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")
7 players at/over 20 MPG in conference (some likely played 40 minutes sometimes, "as necessary")

You've concluded Buddy is the bestest SG in all situations, and therefore should always play 40 minutes (I assume with the exceptions of blowouts).  Everyone should be getting 40 minutes if they're "the best" at their position if you're playing to win, I get it.

I think there is more nuance to the debate, that's all.  We can disagree and move on!
