Response to agree |
| Good discussion. The reason I had a large roster of 28 or so was to foster competition. Many of the freshmen were not physically ready to challenge for serious playing time in their first year. Some did get frustrated and transfered or quit after year one. Those who stuck it out, played a lot their sophomore years and beyond. In the 80s and early 90s players seemed more willing to work hard and wait their turn. This wasn't the case in the late 90s and early 2000s. Players who started every game since they were five couldn't deal with being on the bench or having to truly earn a position for the first time in their lives. I am in administration now, but I heard it is even worse with this generation of players. |
