Black & Shaq won’t go 40 minutes. Hall & Stan will also get some PT.

Yeah - this is the issue with just playing 8 - the post guys need rest & they will also occasionally get into foul trouble. You can slide AT over to the 4 spot on occasion, however you still need Stan & Hall to step in & be adequate if you ever need them. You are set at the 1-2-3 spots with that 8-man rotation, however at the 4-5 spots, you are going to need Stan & Hall to at least log 5-10 minutes per game & more than that if either Tarik & Shaq get into foul trouble.

Typically w/8 man rotations you have a pg, wing, and big off the bench. I'd like to see a 9 man with the three mentioned and Stan/Ferro

Showed some flashes of brilliance in the low post on offense. However, I think the window in which he gets to showcase himself as a starter is either closing quickly or already closed. Tarik should start again today if not by next weekend.

Just saying:
As he enters his second season at the U of M, Thomas said the coaching staff has told him he'll be exclusively featured on the wing, which is where he feels he'll thrive.
Oct 2012--Pastner said recently he plans to utilize a seven-to-eight man rotation
