In response to MrPhillie

AGREED...And we are not going to be able to keep out of foul trouble with Bruce, Avi and Newman playing that level of minutes. The whole season is going to require one delicate tactical and surgical response after another. ND has shown no interest in such an MO. Therefore the execution of such an approach has to logical follow from agreeing that such an approach may be required. I do know one thing (and it requires only topical basketball knowledge)...having Timmerman, Ellis and Rice on the floor and Ellis and VdH on the floor at the same time (as we did against Army in H1) is malpractice. The OOC was the test lab for that and the results from the clinical trial are in. If we canâ€™t get away with it against the 8-9th rated team in the PL at Sojka, then it means we canâ€™t get away with it at all. ND is going to have to break another long held philosophy (which Paulsen never did) of playing 100% MTM. Not going to be able to do that going 6-7 deep. Need to play Spear over AT and start using Rhoades (offense be damned) in the PL. Some hard choices need to be made.
