This is not normal behavior, and yet everyone is just like "Yep, doesn't play defense good enough, can't play. Makes perfect sense to me".
If a player scores 12 and gives up 20, he's not as valuable as a player who scores 8 and gives up 6. In fact, the less flashy player nets us a +10 point advantage.

What if his ability to score from anywhere on the court and stretch the defense allows his teammates to score an additional 20 points and what if your other guy doesn't have to be guarded and allows the opponent to play 5 on 4 costing his team another 15 points. Then 15 + 20 = 35 extra points.
The hypotheticals are stupid. Can you name a player that didn't play for ODU who was a really good offensive player who couldn't get on the court because he struggled on defense?

I will have to think about this. Are you considering Heuit and Kah really good offensive players?
Hueitt is a really good offensive player, but to play on this team, he needs to play defense. We have a lot of good offensive players.
I mean, I'm not saying he should start if he can't guard a stop sign, but he should certainly get on the court if for no reason other than an early heat check each game... and we don't have much offense coming off the bench. At this point X would be the only one I'd say you could expect consistent offense from.

Exhibition appearance doesn't preclude anyone from redshirting, correct?

I think that depends on what conference you play in.

Freshmen are permitted to play and can still redshirt
