Drop 1-3 from the end of the bench and bring in players that have a chance to contribute beyond garbage minutes.
Archie isn't going to go that deep so players will drop down there - look at the players who are considering UD now - if we could get one or two players of that quality every year by asking the end of the bench to walk, wouldn't that be an upgrade in talent? Instead of having a player at the end of the bench again next year, the new player may improve competition for the top 8 spots as they may be better than what we already have there
i may be misreading your post, but i don't think player development is being recognized. ralph has been in the program for 2 years. it would seem clear that he hasn't developed as much or as well as am expects. it appears that am had to have a very tough discussion with ralph about how that translates into minimal opportunities next year and likely his senior year. it's beyond debate that not all players have the same level of development that is required to earn pt. they don't equally close the holes in their games and blow up their advantages. it happens in every program. if the development isn't apparent after the player's sophomore year, it's probably a strong indicator that it's just not going to happen. the player may be the exception, but the overwhelming majority aren't. some kids are happy to stay with their teammates and give what they can in practice. others want the chance to play even if it means at a lower level. is this so offensive?
