Why did Hamilton sit the first half?

Can anybody tell me why Trent Johnson sat Hamilton after he picked up his second foul for the whole first half? I've never understood why coaches do this.
Hamilton's going to play at least the same amount of minutes(most likely more) before fouling out or the game ending regardless of what point of the game he plays, and its not like he is more valuable at the end of the game like a point guard might be.

Fair criticism. However we did get it to 1 with Hamilton out, so it's not like we were playing badly. Being within single digits and him only having 2 at the half wasn't a terrible decision.

The only time it got close was when he was out.

He didn't play that well when he was in anyways.

It was debated here after the Florida game on both sides but I'm against summarrily sitting a kid after two fouls.
I think J-Ham is smart enought to play with two fouls.
Actually we closed the gap with him out so we got away with it till we zoned too long and let them stretch it right before half.
And then we came out in the second half with no energy or intentsity and it was over in two minutes.

Pretty standard move to protect a player with two fouls in the first half. Hamilton fouled out with 4 min left anyway.
