"Yes, you can pull out your ready-made excuses for late season losses and dust them off. They include “the starters are tired because Boeheim never uses his bench” and “if Boeheim had played them earlier in the season, they would be able to help the team out.” You will have plenty of chances to use them.

But, they are uncalled for. Simply put, Boeheim does not have the margin for error that he has had with some recent teams where he regularly played eight or nine guys if he wants to win games and make the NCAA Tournament."

This is a strange argument.  It is "uncalled for" to have the opinion JB should try harder to develop the bench for the end of the season yet he says "you will have plenty of chances to use them."  Why would you take this opinion if you are assuming playing a short rotation is the only answer?   It seems to me having the opinion developing a deeper bench is supported by how many times key players end up getting injuried during the 2nd half of the season.   But if JB makes a deep tournament run with a short bench people who think their opinions are facts are going to be all high and mighty.   As if all their opinions, uh, facts are absolutely true and everyone else is an idiot.
