And concerning starting, every known coach on the planet starts his two best players each half.. except for Edwards.
I'm not certain they are our two best players. Dalton yes, but not ready to say that about James yet. He's one of our most talented players, but the mental mistakes prevent him from consistently being one of the best.
Opportunity cost. How many fewer mistakes does Lieberman/Kelley make when they are taking those minutes compared to JJ and is that enough to offset the loss of productivity by playing them instead of JJ.
Edwards seems to be hardest on JJ of all the players and I understand why. If he gets it together he can be an all-conference level performer. Teaching time is over however. It's conference play. Every possession counts. You do whatever it takes to win now.
Having said that, in terms of last night, foul trouble changes things.
