So does any one think if Bennett was still coaching, he would keep McKneely out there for those minutes when he is struggling to score and can't guard

This is getting so obvious now that McKneely has hit a brick wall in regards to scoring and can't guard anyone for being so slow.

I think he has been exposed badly that he struggles to even make a layup. That block was brutal to see him thrown to the floor like a rag doll. His last several layup/fast break layups were cringe worth to do a bizarre 180 turning of your back to the basket as if you are afraid you are going to be blocked by a smaller guard and blow the layup completely.

So does anyone believe that McKneely would be losing minutes if Bennett was still here, especially on his lack of defense and being blown by at will. Several times his man was wide, and I mean wide open out at the 3pt line for easy 3s as McKneely rushes out late with just a hand up after the ball has been released.

Looking at a different line up with people that can shoot and defend and rebound, I would now start Cofie, Saunders, Rohde, Murray, Sharma as a starting group.

If McKneely comes out Saturday against Stanford and struggles to get off a shot for just 3 points and make just one of two free throws he has to sit for the betterment of the team.

Ames sorry is worthless. He has himself as his primary shooter with blinders on when he has wide open teammates or back door alley op passes. At least Rohde has had a few nice passes to big men back door.

Ames has had several fast break double teams and he takes it himself to complete the embarrassment fail. He is not a team player at all and has shown a laziness for Defense also not guarding his guy and leaving him wide open out at the three. Announcers have called him out several times this season on his selfish play and poor D. Also his poor passing that has led to fast break turnovers for the other team.
