If I may presume to speak for the General, I believe what he's saying is that all players have a developmental curve, and merely infusing a player with PT isn't necessarily going to accelerate that developmental curve.  It may accelerate PARTS of it [such as, more game experieince would make a player less nervous about playing], but more PT last year wasn't going to make Buss knock down more threes this year, wasn't going to make BJ get physically stronger, wasn't going to make Dashonte Riley a better player more capable of helping the team in 2010, etc.  Some guys just develop slower, even though later in their careers they end up being solid contributors--some of whom even end up being above average.
 
For every Pitino example of 9+ rotation, there is a K or JB or others with a 7 player rotation.  There is no right one way to coach, and no one-size-fits all approach that guarantees no brainer results.  Playing players who aren't ready doesn't magically transform them.  In some cases, PT can drive short term improvement.  In other cases, it won't have that effect--although it benefit the player in the longer term.    It's this distinction that seems to be lost on many.
