The primary goal of those quick subs is to get the player coming out a break without them missing much game time. That's why Clark is almost always subbed just before the mid-quarter timeout. I doubt Coach Bluder expects much out of the players in those short stints, or that poor performance in a short stint would impacts her evaluations of the player much. She recognizes it's a tough situation to throw them into. But it's a necessary one.That sucks. I liked her game a lot (we just never got to see it much). She seemed like a quicker version of Marshall she just never was on the court long enough to get into any kind of rhythm shooting the ball.
Substitution patterns have always been an issue I've had with Bluder. Subs will come in for 45sec or maybe 90sec and then get subbed right back out. Meyer, Taiwo, Cook and Jensen all have been had struggles because of this. So hard to sit on the bench for 30 minutes after warm-ups and then jump in the game for just 45 seconds. Setting them up to fail.
Wish Lauren well and just hope she doesn't end up in the BigTen somewhere and haunt the Hawks in the future.
I wish Jensen the best moving forward, and can't fault her decision. She didn't play much last year, and we are adding two wings, one of which is almost certainly ahead of her on the depth chart going in. As Gabe said on the recruiting thread, she's still young and should have the opportunity to find playing time at another program.
