I stand corrected. But if you notice we didn't have a single player averaging over 35 minutes a game. And he does try to give Mickey and Martin rests. Last night we played Bridgewater but he was simply outmatched. It's an awkward situation. 
I noticed that about last year, but that means Jones has gotten worse this year.

As for Jones trying to sub, I have to object. In the last game we played well when Bridgewater went in in the second half. Martin just got a huge dunk and yet Jones still sent Mickey to the scoring table after just a 35 second break.

I have said previously, Jones hasn't handled players with different talent levels well, and it is magnified with "his" players. IMO, he needs to get over it or he needs to go.

No, it has to do with having better depth last year. We could bring Jarell/Shavon, Stringer, Morgan, Tim, and Hammink off the bench. That isn't exactly Kentucky's bench, but it's 10x better then what we have now.

Bridge got abused on the glass, had a bad rotation, and took a bad under the basket shot in about a minute of play. He did not play well. I will say this, Bridge, Epps, and Elbert all know how to box out. Malone does to. Not sure why Martin and Mickey don't do it.
