benching players that aren't doing what you want them to doesn't prevent you from winning the conference.

Right... benching players for "Life Lessons" does.

Let's be honest, all those benchings were for basketball reasons.

I'm honestly under different impressions for most of these instances. But I'm only itk part of the time.

Good article.  Frank admits everything I've posted in this thread. Props to me, I guess. 

Long term goal is to be ready in March.  Doesn't care in the slightest if games are lost early on. 

That's fine.  So long as we don't give a crap about conference championships. 

Was Frank's approach ever really a question?

I think you are confusing this with the "Awesome things Frank says" thread.

Gone completely rough ridin' brain dead today.  What a rough ridin' moron today.  I can't believe he's left the bumbling Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) out there this long.

it's either one of two things:

1) doesn't recruit offensive talent

2) has created a system which discourages offensive talent from being allowed to "shine."

He recruits offensive talent, just not at the level of a Syracuse or KU....yet.

McCollum was a late bloomer. He was offered a scholarship by Bowling Green and given a couple sniffs by MAC schools, but he went to Lehigh because he wanted a better education. Temple couldn't possibly have recruited him as a freshman/soph in high school, cause the kid was about 5'6" and not being recruited by anyone.

Give me a break, get off your horse and recognize one, the timing of the post and two, the vast majority of college coaches would have yanked Gip for Diaz.

Funny, don't see that anywhere in my post.  Care to elaborate?

The fact that I thought Frank should try an alternative option when option A is not working, at all, is revealing how?

I assume this implies Diaz was the answer? :dunno:

Plus, he tried Diaz and it was obvious (painfully) that he wasn't the answer.

You thinking a logical move to an alternative option equates to one player being "the answer" is enough for me.

Diaz has panicked on the court at times this season in a lot less pressure.  I don't think putting Diaz on the court against that Syracuse zone in an NCAA game after getting very few minutes the last 5 games or so is a logical anything

eff I don't care, just put someone else in.  Diaz has shown bright spots plenty of times this year.

The great thing about basketball is you have MULTIPLE SUBSTITUTIONS.  If Diaz or option C don't work, fine throw Gip back in there.  But to simply let him keep struggling without trying other options was a coaching mistake.

I can't see how the NCAA tournament is a weird time to get upset.
