Message: [QUOTE="stuckinbig11, post: 2810500, member: 503"] I often wonder which reason is in JB's head when he makes each substitution a. Winning--we all know JB plays to win, so getting the right players on the court for any given situation is obvious. b. Foul trouble--obvious. c. Teaching moment--getting a player off the court to explain what he is doing wrong. d. Punishment--getting a player off the court because he repeatedly does what he has been told no to do. e. Not playing well--sometimes guys have bad games. Testing combinations--with an enlarged roster, a gimme game presents an opportunity to try new things. g. Playing a hunch--trying a player based on instinct at he moment. h. Other reasons? Each opponent and each game is different, so reasons vary by game, but a and b are always in play. Last night, I think he tried , at least in the first half. c and d may have come into play also. Hughes faced e. Several faced c and d. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
