[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1282948, member: 588522"] Problem is, sometimes you can go a few minutes without being able to sub (unless of course you take a timeout, which now you're compromising not only a possession or two but also losing a TO that could be used in a critical point.) I would've like to see every senior step on the floor, but the fact of the matter is this was an important and close game. We won by 3 pts. Can't risk losing by playing a kid just because he's a senior. We needed every off/def possesion that went our way to go our way (if that makes sense), and Tate/Thorne/Austin would've all been liabilities to hurt a possession here or there. OK done with the dead horse beating. I'm sure those guys are disappointed but this isn't house league. You play the best players in the situation, regardless of standing. Tate knows this and should be happy the team won. [/QUOTE]
