Ha, love the three point barrage (and good setups for the shots) to kick off this half! Let's keep it up!

I'll say it one more time. The absolute dumbest thing I've ever seen become a staple of college basketball is sitting a player with two fouls. The mindlessness of it drives me into a rage.

Let's see.... I better sit this guy and not let him play so that he doesn't get another foul out & have to SIT DOWN & NOT PLAY!!!!!!

Once again when you sit them yourself you ARE fouling them out yourself. & the thing is they will sit them again when they get their third, & then again when they get their fourth. By the time you add up all the minutes the coach sits them themselves it is ALWAYS more than if they fouled out themselves......that's IF they even do end up fouling out. When you sit them yourself you are guaranteeing some level of a foul out every time
This is so true. So many coaches do this. Great clear explanation of why it's a bad idea. Needs to be revisited by the whole coaching profession.
