Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5689181, member: 628"] I generally avoid criticizing in-game coaching decisions. It seems so cliche, and most of the time there are perfectly legitimate reasons why a coach does what he does. It's just that sometimes the outcome isn't good, so people second guess. However, Red's substitution patterns deserve so very much MORE scorn than they've received. It should be a topic after every, single game. I can't recall a single conference game this season where he rode a hot hand and gave a guy bigger minutes because of it. JB would do that all the time. Saturday I flipped on the game in the 2nd half and saw that White had 12 points on 8 shots. He was on the floor. Then 30 seconds later there was a time out, White was pulled, and didn't play again for the last 12+ minutes of the game. It was insane. It's mind blowing how utterly inept Red is at optimizing his lineup in real time. [/QUOTE]
