Red had to bench Taylor to send a message.

[Newhouser]

Getting on the floor scrapping for loose balls, creating tie ups and taking and making 3 shots that were set up from what looked like an actual offense...That BS is contagious you have to nip that stuff in the bud or effort and execution will ruin your team.

Red is coach of the year.

 

[Grbac]

Does he realize we can’t tank for a better recruit? Someone should fill him in.

Honestly he has done this all season long. Anyone who gets hot he benches them. Never seen anything like it. Scheduled rotations no matter how the game is going.
May have had high basketball IQ while playing but lost it on the sideline.

he has zero feel for the game. this job is over his head

This is the kind of stuff that really grates on a fan, and I assume on the players. So I guess it grates on everyone. What are we doing here?

Based on this, it sounds like we should be grateful!

Wait...that didn't work out the way I thought it would

Instead, we're all ingrates.

When in doubt, ride the cold hand.
Hot shooting hands must be doused so lets send Taylor and Cuffe to the bench.
Got to play cool hand jj.
Oh and lets make sure that good defenders learn how unimportant that is and shove them on the bench.
With Taylor and Cuffe, the benching had double meaning.
Seriously they played 29 minutes combined and scored 23 points, on 9 of 13 shooting I think.

 

[Madbiker]

Taylor looked to be having one of his hot shooting games. Which he has like once every 8 games. So of course Red benches him for some reason. Treating all of us to JJ's horrendous shooting night.

Yuppp. Literally been saying this since the middle of last season. No feel for the game, his substitutions are questionable literally EVERY game, his body language is horrible for a head coach and he just looks lost. Almost every time a camera pans over to him he is either pouting or he has some deer in the head lights look. He is not a smart coach or good coach by any means. We have two seasons of sample size for that now. And we have regressed BIG TIME his second year. Not good, not good at all

As soon as Taylor came out I said what an idiot. Play him till he misses. Pretty sure Bell stunk the first five minutes he came in too.

Pre-planned subs because you have no intuition for the in-game. I'm honestly shocked it's this bad.

 

[Irishsecra1]

All I can do to protest this travesty is refuse to contribute to NIL until we get another head coach.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

It is weird that the few times a guy like Taylor or Moore has started hot from the perimeter we just... stop feeding them.

 

[orangefog]

I think if Taylor and Bell are both hot in a game, we should pretty much never lose a game. But, Red did it, he found a way.

It's because for some reason he doesn't like having them both on the floor at the same time.

 

[phil77]

Because Red's substitution note card has them going in and out for each other. There is nothing on the cards that says they can play with each other.

Taylor should have received time at the two this year with Bell on the court. JJ was given way too many minutes.

This is a joke, right? If this is accurate, then it really is difficult to quantify just how bad a coach he is.

He's joking.

Kinda.

Maybe.

The only thing I can think of, is that Red doesn't think that Taylor can be a secondary ball handler. We know Bell can't handle the ball.

Coaches over think things.

Dont need a secondary ball handler when you have the dribbler on the court.

 

[VA Citrus]

I turn on the game and they're talking about how dominant Lucas Taylor was early on. I don't remember seeing him again.
