[QUOTE="geneseo, post: 1186182, member: 32709"] I responded to a post saying there was no reason to play Tate or Lewis. I threw out a few possible reasons to play them. I tend to speak up when Tate and/or Lewis are singled for the poor play of the team. It isn't because I think they are world beaters. The current wrinkle is that the team is bad in pretty much all phases of the game, not just pg play. Yet, there is a handful of posters that harp on Tate constantly like somehow benching him is going to fix the team. It wouldn't. Paraphrasing Lou Henson, if you finish at the top of the conference in rebounding and defense, you'll finish at the top of the conference. I agree with that and think the opposite is true, that if you finish at the bottom of the conference in rebounding and defense, you will finish at the bottom of the conference. That is where we are at. Benching Tate isn't going to fix it. [/QUOTE]
