...you see what it has done. It woke Carter up. Playing lights out tonight. Sometimes bench time is the greatest motivation for improvement.
Those who questioned Huggs benching of Carter last week...
- Thread starter MountaineerWV
- Start date
Expected this attitude from you.....but the last time I checked the rim size was the same tonight as it was against Virginia in MSG.
I would have rather had him playing in a game where he could have made a difference. Not sure he will make any difference in this blowout.
Playing a guy that was out of control wouldn't have helped. Paige stepped in his spot and play lights out against UVA. Some guys just need to sit down to wake up.
If carter had not been benched last game, he still may have played lights out today. May not be causally related at all.
Considering that since the benching, they said he's been in the gym working extra......I'm gonna have to say it had a direct reflect on his play.....
I've often thought Huggins was to quick to pull players but sitting Carter was a good coaching move.
He needed a chance to watch his team play without him and realize how important he was, and how important his decisions with the ball were.
His play tonight might have no connection to that experience, but it was a good lesson nonetheless.

I was hoping someone would post this.
What if he would have played like this against UVA in the second half...we might have had a chance to win. I can't believe that him sitting the rest of that game had any impact on him playing better against a weak opponent.

Well, let me ask you this. If our QB threw 4 INT's in the first half, wouldn't you like to see him pulled in the 2nd half?
I wonder if Huggins will ever have to bench Carter again. Surely not. Put me in the game coach. I'm ready to play.
First off...you can't compare a QB to bball player.
If that's the case, then Huggy Bear needs to bench the entire team and we wouldn't lose another game!
