The only thing that seems to be confusing you is you're forgetting 1) this game was the first of the season and the team had only 1 practice in 12 days, 2) Bryant was playing good enough to take and maintain a lead on us most of the game, 3) Jim Boeheim has made multiple comments re: how high he is on Kadary's ability.

What [I]I[/I] don't understand is how you've not been able to recognize how [I]these special circumstances[/I] created a decision matrix for JB that would not allow him to take any chances on inexperienced players with the game still on the line. If you know that 1) JB had no problem in the past rotating 3 capable guards and you know that 2) he's looking forward to what Kadary can do for his team, why would you leap past the obvious "exceptional circumstances" of this first game to being puzzled at how 'hard' it apparently is for Jim to rotate 3 guards?

To me, that seems a weird bit of confusion to have when the obvious reason why Boeheim played JG3 as much as he did was the closeness of the game and the uncertainty of how Kadary would perform in his first game, with so much on the line. Jim will [I]always [/I]go with experience when the game is in doubt, the 1st game of the season. It's not Jim "forgetting" how to play 3 guards (facepalm)...
