That win or lose, participants have to tell the coach who he should start.

We are 5-1. There is nothing wrong with the starting lineup. Let the coach es do their job.

Written? Not that I'm aware of.

De facto Pretty much.

That non Blazer related topics go in Bar & Grill.

It's like selectively chosen what stays in GBMF and what gets booted to B$G.

5-2
Just sayin

People are voicing their opinion on what they think the coaches should do on an internet message board dedicated to the athletics program?

There are many rules regarding message board posting, and how other people should conduct themselves there.

This is known.

Written or unwritten rules?
For the life of me I can't seem to find the unwritten rules written down anywhere.

Well, while we are on the subject...

I think swing and purifoy should be coming off the bench, Williams should be starting, and we get in watts and mehinti for spot minutes (like we have been doing).

There has to be a role for RIddeau, right? You don't sign Juco players as long term developmental projects. He's a good shooter on a subpar to average 3 pt shooting team.. Just throwin it out there!!

Agree that it's odd for a juco to be buried so far down the bench. When you are coming in with the walk-on, you can't go any further down the pecking order.

Haase has done a great job recruiting but you can't hit on them all. I'm thinking we may have three more spots to fill by the late signing date.

All though I don't have a problem with the lineup I would do the same if I were in charge.

Is it possible that the coach might be attempting to influence a player by using playing time as an attention getter?

He might even have other motives we're not aware of.

I think Riddeau is just slow to pick up Haase's scheme. I bet it's an X's & O's thing.
