The Jim Boeheim Show - before Georgetown

Boeheim comments after almost every game they’ve got to get the bench better and get them more playing time. I think they’re all trying, and the fact that our starters are all still figuring things out (and improving) makes minutes for the subs even harder to come by.

In games, it looks like frank and Symir are getting better and will get more minutes. frank will also get minutes whenever J Ed gets in foul trouble. Benny will get there.

People react like getting the bench more playing time is like pressing a button. the bench players have to produce when they are in there to get more time. And, when you're playing a rough schedule, it's hard to even give them a chance, although JB has done pretty well. We aren't playing sparing partners. We're duking it out with contenders.

This isn’t it at all.
Your bench should be able to pickup the starters when the starters are off.

In the past we had players on bench we could have realistically give a chance too when a starter was off for a particular game.

We can’t even do that now. That is the choice of the HC.
When are JBA or Chaz going to be able to contribute in a rotation? 2 years to just learn the game on scholarship?

Robert Braswell didn’t want to stay here to be a perfect guy who could contribute when starters are off. He didn’t want to stay that speaks to something going on.
We lost Woody(correction)Newton and didn’t try to replace him.

These roster management decisions kill us this year our starters struggle and we literally don’t have any options but to let them play thru their struggles.

That is it.
