William and Mary has started the same five players in all five games. Only two other players have more than 76 minutes - the back-up center and a 6-5 guy who looks like a 3, from the stats.

By the way, keep an eye on them as the post-season approaches. They shoot well, defend very well, take care of the ball, have enough height. They are only 7-5, but among their losses are at Wake, at Purdue, at Vandy, and at Richmond in 2OT.

I recall Coach Foley saying one of his teams won a national championship with only five players available. Sometimes having too many choices causes bad choices. I sometimes think we would do better if we only played five or six players. It's like time outs. Some coaches seem to think you have to use them whether they are productive or not. You have enough media timeouts to more than get your message across in most cases. There are exceptions, but I think you save your timeouts to stop a run, get out of a press situation, or settle your team down. But the team should know what to do in most situations, so you shouldn't have to stop play near the end of every game in every situation. Let them play.
