Coach Forbes was on the Sports Monster this am with Bobby and Kenny. Bobby asked him specifically about Jurkin's playing time. Not sure if you heard it, but this is what he said.

He told Bobby he wasn't going to discuss a specific individual's playing time with anyone but his players and his coaches. He went on to say he was more than willing to explain how playing time is determined for everyone on his team. He said they have had 100+ practices since June, a scrimmage, an exhibition game, and 14 games to help him determine playing time. He then went deeper into his explanation by saying playing time is determined each game based upon their opponent's style of play, match-ups, and the offensive and defensive game plan.

He talked about them having a deep and talented team and that playing time was very competitive. In addition, he mentioned that during each game their substitutions can change based on a player's performance, foul trouble, their opponent's adjustments, etc..... He said he liked the fact his team has shown the ability to win games vs. different styles of play. He said that was b/c of their depth and talent. At the end he said there are only 40 minutes available at each position, and some guys can to play multiple positions while others do not. He finished by saying that up until November his staff stats practice and ranks each player on the team at the end of the week. He said this was the way he determined playing time and would be the way he does it as long as he's the HC at ETSU.

Anyways, take from that what you'd like. Not sure why some of you obsess over this subject.
