mick sees him as more of a 3, but he seems to have the game of a small ball 4. i imagine he splits time between the 2 depending on the type of team we face. |

At 80 percent I would tend to agree but I don’t think it’s time to put the red light on just yet.

i enjoyed this article as it discusses two things that the greatest college coach ever does that our coach does not do. i'm a supporter of mick, but i wish he would come around on these subjects, especially on the 2 first half fouls one with regard to cumberland. |

I kind of go back and forth on this issue. I really don't think there should be a hard and fast rule about sitting a player after he has 2 fouls in the first half. If I am a opposing coach and Cumberland picks up his second and is still in the game I am definitely trying to get him his 3rd. Depending on the score or my depth as a team it may dictate how I respond in that situation. As for a two for one situation If I can get a good shot off in and save time doing it I'm good with going tow for one. I don't know if I would want to just throw up a bad shot to get a extra possession. |

the 2 foul thing makes it sound like coaches should be trying to maximize the playing time of their best players and best lineup combinations. that just doesn't sound like smart basketball. |

Playing guys with two fouls is tough in the first half. If I have a lead I never play them. If it is close I might try to slow the game down and handle it that way. Lots of options. The player has to know that he can not put himself in the wrong spot. It also makes you a bit dependent on the officials. All it takes is a bad call. |

As for the 2 fouls (notice 1 foul is not even part of the equation...ala Cumberland OSU) it depends on who has the fouls. Is it a valuable big that can pick up fouls very easily in the paint...or guards who don't pick up fouls as easily. I would play the guards especially if the replacement is a massive dropoff in production (ala Cumberland OSU). I would probably sit the bigs. There are things you can do on D to kind of protect a guard with 2 fouls if you need him on the court. |
