Answer 1

NO!!! History has shown in sports that is a bad, bad idea.

Really??!! I'm not sure if you're serious or not.

Answer 3

I don't know if there's any reason to rest our players, we just had a week off. And this isn't the NBA where there can be 5 games in a week.

Answer 4

Nobody rests players in college basketball unless you're playing 3 games in 3 days like the SECT. 2 games a week is no big deal.

my guess is that he is not serious, lmao.

on the other hand i have been up over 24 hours and maybe he has a point.

why not sit ur players out and lose on senior night and, just give away a 50 game home winning streak that is well deserved.

go cats

Answer 9

Calipari wouldn't do that. Most coaches wouldn't. Just a bad idea, and I think you'll start to see it less and less in football, given recent events.

Now, if we're up 20 on UGA in the second half, then sure, you put the subs in earlier than you might. But that's about it.

Answer 10

Yes. Of course.

Our starting lineup against UGA will be:

Polson
Beckham
Vargas
Long
Miller (just because its senior night...but he will come out and Wiltjer will play most of the minutes)

Funny thing is....we'd probably be competitive with UGA with that starting lineup.

Know exactly what you mean

Answer 13

If the OP means rest by not starting, then FAIL. If he means rest by not playing as many minutes, then RR has it nailed right here.

Instead of subs coming in with 2 minutes, they come in at the under 4 timeout.

Answer 14

You don't want them to get rusty and lose their timing. Just keep them flowing like a well oiled machine.

Answer 15

Senior Day Starting Lineup

Miller
Jones
Davis
Vargas
Gilchrist

Answer 16

Cal is still trying to improve the team and every bit of experience helps. I think you might end up seeing a little more Wiltjer but thats about it.

Answer 17

If it were me coaching, I'd play the starters through the first couple of TV time-outs, but then I'd let Polson & Co. take the lead the rest of the way. Just my opinion...
