I agree 100%. I felt the exact same way. Collins played entirely too much. His rotations were mind boggling. It’s probably the biggest reason we took that L. I kept asking my wife, “what in the fvck is Cal doing?!” Almost like he’s trying to throw games.Thing is, we say these things every year, then, sometime around January-ish, our teams usually click defensively. All the sudden, our guys know how to defend the dribble drive. Well, why didn't they know how to do that in November after 4 months of practice?
Problem is, this just shouldn't be the case, especially when we have those summer games. There is no reason to be so far behind at the beginning of every season.
It’s almost like Cal uses actual games as practice to find out what he has. But that's so screwed up. He should know his team enough by November 15th to know what he has.
The lineups he played in the Michigan State game made me think he had mental issues. Very few lineups made sense and he left Collins in way too long. The guy is scared of his own shadow. Livingston made 1 mistake and was out. It simply makes no sense.
Livingston is tougher, he’s a better rebounder, better defender, a better shooter and a better scorer, but Cal sacrificed a win to make a really dumb point. Livingston is only one example of his hard headedness in that game.
Don't even get me started on the Gonzaga game.
