This is mainly true at the 4 and 5 spots. We definitely need some depth there.

He was suggesting that the substitution was "typical" of Ivey when it was more of a case that we lacked depth (much of which is coming back from injury) due to an unusually high number of injuries. Having 4-5 players injured at the same time is not the norm, but it seems like everyone is acting like it is.

Keep in mind that many teams (and I'm including NC level teams, excluding South Carolina) often only go 7-8 players deep in most Tournament games (Iowa only played 7 more than 20 seconds, and 6 more than 10 minutes in the NC Game. LSU only played 6 players more than 3 minutes (7 players total)).
