I'm not sure what your point is here... other than to argue.
I digress.
Again, I can't speak to the Wofford time. But even this year, we saw very little of both Young and Rech. Ideally, when you know we aren't a very good team, you roll the dice with some of these young guys (no pun intended there). CMY doesn't like to do that. I would be interested in knowing (obviously you have more knowledge of the Wofford situation that me) how many of those CMY teams were littered with veteran players. CMY seems to be very stubborn about playing young guys. To a fault I might add. Again, we can point to specific instances during his tenure here, but the reality is, he has guys on the bench... just sitting there.
Where was John Camden all year? Where was Young (seems like every time he got on the court he it a shot. And his defense certainly was not much worse than MJ Collins or Tyler Nickel). Where was Rech, especially during those games where Pedulla was throwing the ball away with reckless abandon? I could go on and on here. Again, I think the rotation issues were compounded with the departure of Rice, but this industry does now allow you to be stubborn.

I think we lost because we don’t have the bench ..
