Personally, I think the Kadary's insistence on minutes trope is misleading. That completely flies in the face of Sha's earn your playing time mantra.

Now, do I believe KR made it known he might not be thrilled with the arrival of certain players? Sure, I can see that. But I have a hard time believing that someone who often behaves in a my way or the highway fashion was going to let one of his players dictate roster moves.

I suspect some of the calculus was incoming players saying, where are my minutes if that guy is still here.

I was going to say, it definitely matters to the kids who starts, and probably who finishes, and I think coaches emphasize the latter more than the former. Whether a player buys in, who knows.

With a true 8 man rotation I don’t see any issue. With 10 it can become trickier with these kids, because they all have different goals, egos and expectations. I once had a kid major assistant tell me that I would be shocked at how many of his kids thought they were pros - NBA or at worst that after a stint in the developmental league or top overseas league - despite obvious objective evidence indicating otherwise.

I understand that college hoops and sports is a mess, but I am getting a little tired of hearing these coaches whining about it, when in the past the typical coach:

Made promises to recruits that often were not kept and this is at every level of college sports

Held the sit out year over the players' head to prevent transfer, even in instances of burying the player on the roster

Made tons of offers to players, but many when they tried to accept were told they could not.

Broke contracts and commitments to players by leaving for new jobs the moment a better one became available

Now, the players have some control and the coaches whine that it is unworkable.

Tony Bennett supposedly signed a 2 year extension in late August. What changed to retire now?

NCAA created situation we are in by not adapting leading to lawsuits. The coaches were all too happy to let that happen as long as they were happy with the set up.
