Tennessee subbing
If Kim Caldwell did it for the first half only I would love it she actually hockey subs like not just 5 for 5 but everybody plays shifts meaning 3 or 4 minutes at a time. it keeps her players fresh and it forces mismatches with the other team.
But she actually does this the entire game and I can’t stand it.
First of all doing a 5 for 5 sub is a terrible idea to begin with you are taking your best player off the floor and putting your second unit in.
imagine being a starter going up 65 to 60 and then coming back and it’s 75 to 70.
Then not having a set starting lineup is extremely weird as well. it’s hard to build chemistry on the court if you’re never on the court with the same players.
I think Tennessee is a really talented team they obviously won tonight against a really good team in uconn but this isn’t a winning strategy i think they’ll stay competitive but this isn’t gonna work.
It’s almost impossible to get a rhythm if I make two shots in a row and then sit the bench right after.
I think Kim Caldwell is a really good coach she’s young in her coaching career and I see her being Tennessee’s coach for a long time but a 5 for 5 is often done in aau or high school level she’s gonna have to adjust
