Indeed. It amazes me that certain people can't see the, in many ways, masterful job BU did this year. When one considers all the injuries, coaching changes, etc. I find it incredible UI ended up where they did. It could have, and probably would have, been disastrous for any number of other programs. Did he ride the upperclassmen too much? Perhaps, and one can certainly argue that. However, imo simply focusing on that is to lose sight of how well the Illini did overall.With 2 5th year bouns scholarships, what would have been your 8th man becomes your 10th man. No good teams are rolling 10 deep consistently. The rotation guys need to get used to playing together. Last year was a weird one to be a HC. A lot of unprecedented situations were thrown at these guys to make adjustments on the fly. I’d say BU did pretty well.
