Increase Austin Ash's minutes

I predict he makes a 3 sometime during this NCAA tournament, it just will be in mop up. Teammates seem to love him....
 
Who does Ash score against in these games (the walk-ons of the opposing team), and at what point in the game (when the game's already decided)? I watched Ash play in a summer league at Mt. Mercy U. prior to his first year at Iowa, against DIII and NAIA players - no DI players. Yes, he's grown some since then and maybe gotten stronger, but at that time he struggled to get a shot off vs that competition. And he couldn't guard most of those players 1-on-1. There's a reason Ash has not played meaningful minutes. My intent is not to disrespect him as I think we all know how important scout team players are to the success of a college team. And I appreciate his contributions to the team in that way.
 
I believe he got real game time minutes, not mop up minutes at some point during his career because of injuries or illness or perhaps foul problems. I recall that he wasnt all that bad. Not a super star but didn't seem to panic and played within his limitations.
Great guy to hveon th team.

Quit being so serious, dude. No one wants Ash to get minutes when it matters.

Phew. Glad you cleared this up.
