[QUOTE="Dayman, post: 1261749, member: 177333"] Also, I know Hill had 3 fouls early but why sit him? We aren't going to beat Indiana without him. By sitting him for 10 minutes in the first half that is the same as him fouling out with 10 minutes left in the game. You might as well play him until he fouls out and hope we can win at the end without him. Plus, he might now foul out. I learned this lesson as an assistant high school coach years ago. We were in the regional championship and our best player got 3 first half fouls. The head coach looked at me and said he has to play. He yelled out "don't foul" and he played the rest of the game and finished with 3 fouls. We played really hard pressure defense too so it wasn't like he was hiding in a zone. Every game after that if a key player got into "foul trouble" we left them in. They never fouled out. I know everyone sits people when they get 2 or 3 fouls but if in our case we aren't going to win without Hill so he might as well play until he fouls out, which I am betting he won't do hardly ever.....
