Why not platoon?

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – There will be no more platooning by Coach Cal.

We heard him explain how hard it was and how rare the situation last season really came to be.

This season…despite having two big 7-footers, a couple of guys who can play the four and a host of guards…there will be no platooning.

Surprisingly, the players like the fact only 7 or 8 guys will be in the rotation.  It seems surprising because that means two or three guys will now be missing out on minutes.

It goes back to the saying competition breeds success…and by knowing you aren’t guaranteed a spot…guys will be going at it harder, in theory, in practice.

Was Cal surprised to hear his players were glad to hear the end of the platoon system?
