Let's be clear here.

Are you saying that Calhoun restricted the playing time of CV, not because he wanted to put play his best players and win that year, but because it would mean CV MIGHT be back the following year because his exposure had been limited? Or that UConn was so stacked, Calhoun could sit his best players and still win?

That might have been the way things worked out, but that as a conscious strategy seems to me to be way beyond the pale.

And do you think the NBA scouts could be fooled by this ploy? Or are they sitting home selecting NBA prospects by reading UConn box scores on minutes played and key stats?

C'mon. The hole premise of this is dizzy. The solution to players leaving early is to sit them down? And the way that you do that is to recruit so many good players that you can sit these NBA-potential players down and still win games?

It's actually not an uninteresting question. But when you think it through, its impractical.
