Like never...makes me so mad. And we know that Woodson knows that too, he dramatically shortened the bench last year as the year wore on. He has access to all the same lineup efficiency stuff us couch coaches do.

So why does he have extended stretches, ever, in contested games, when 0,1, even 2 starters are in the game. Without going too negative on this...to me, it likely points to some larger flaws in his philosophies and his mindset as a coach.

I think it’s an ego thing. My speculation is that he thinks he is smarter than other college coaches. In other words, that he’s on to some super secret trick that no college coach is smart enough to have tried.

Have you ever watched a Bruce Pearl coached team, where he coaches like a soccer mom and everyone gets a participation ribbon and where he does weird ass shit like starts the worst player on the roster? Or Tom Crean with his timed premade lineups where he ignores hot hands, and matchups and puts cold players in their spots, just because? Or Buzz Williams also known as Crean's doppleganger... who is a combination of Crean and Pearl ..

There's worse than Woodson.. the stupid lineups last year, won't be stupid lineups this year as there's a huge talent difference having Tucker, Gallo and Goode.. compared to last year's versions of CJ, Banks, and Sparks.

I underestimated Woody's ability to put a stupid lineup on the floor.

You play the scrubs at the end with a 30 pt lead not in the middle of a dominating 1st half run. That stupid shit not only killed our momentum, it's a NET efficiency killer.
