I didnt get to see the ULM game when he did start but i think it's time to make the permanent switch.

I agree. And then hope he sticks around for another year or two.

He is playing at a high level, but no because we need that. spark off the bench.

There has to be someone that can come off the bench and score. Right now, that's only Coleman and Morgan. Mainly Coleman.

Unless Martin becomes a defensive liability I don't think so. Coleman is very good coming off the bench and provides great energy we need.

he did play 28 minutes last night compared to Martin's 18. Which really is more important than who starts. I'd still probably put him in the starting lineup though.

plus bringing martin off the bench gives him more minutes at the 4. right now he's not working at the 3.

Absolutely. Then bring him off the bench at the 4 allowing Mickey to move to the 3 or 5 when both are still in the game. Mickey seems to have more length and flexibility in his game.

Nah, I like Coleman and Morgan coming off the bench together to wreck havoc.

Nah I like getting him experience with the 1s in OOC play.

He'll come around, and Coleman is a terror coming off the bench.

But yeah Coleman is playing better

While I generally feel the same way, when a team is struggling to find its identity, the starting lineup can be an important part of that identity. A lot of kids still buy into the most important (best) players are starters. By the time they reach the NBA this of course is not an issue most of the time.

If we don't let tech go on that run to close out the game, then we win by double digits on the road to a team that only has losses to ranked teams.

We do that while still not putting it all together. I got te same impression from the OSC.

We're going to be a tough out in march.

Yes, but coming off the bench allows him catch his enemy at unawares in and "Art of War" sort of thing. Yes...

I think it's completely tasteless and offensive.

Is that a photoshop of a special needs child?
