Just to give you some history about TC. Back at St. Mary's, when he was coaching in HS, he got in trouble with some other coaches because they felt he was running up the score on them. His message was, in effect, "Don't get bitter, get better". As for a starter getting hurt, when he could have been on the bench, it could happen but I don't believe you can coach scared. In both the LIU and Niagara games, Mike Glover could have scored 40 points, with more playing time. And in both games we could have scored 115+ points if we wanted to, but TC took his foot off the pedal. JMO. That's fine. But why score 40 or 115 when you can win comfortably, get players rest and play some second and third tier guys. It isn't caoching scred it may be coaching smart. JMO That's coaching and scared. Sorry!

I don't like seeing any team run up the score either. I don't believe it's the motivation here. You guys who bring up the long term, while it's a valid point, have to understand that getting the team to play 40 minutes with a "killer" instinct is developed over time. Sometimes it means playing starters longer in blowout games (Often harder to concentrate). What I liked about Sundays game was that no matter how bad it got, the Gaels were all about business. There was no showboating or gloating. I think that is what coach Cluess is trying to get across to this team. Yes, we have to think long term, but long term also means winning a championship and some NCAA games this year. I truly believe the coach knows what he is doing. Again, JMO.
