This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm not saying we don't need some depth by cbiebel
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)).
