The UTC backup is better than their starter. Difference in the game was turnovers. AP 4 UTC 0. Hate we have to beat a team we just beat but oh well.
If the backup is better than the starter, he'd be the starter.
100% he would be the starter.
nope - WALLY PIP. coaches can't always foresee everything.
sometimes a guy comes in and is just better...
"Pipp is now best remembered as the man who lost his starting role (so Wally Pipp was the clear STARTER) as the Yankees' first baseman to Lou Gehrig on June 2, 1925, after experiencing a headache.
This began Gehrig's streak of 2,130 consecutive games played, which stood as an MLB record for 56 years." - coaches thought Wally Pipp was better than Lou Gehrig.
Regardless there are HUNDREDS of stories like this. If coaches are so smart why wait until the 5th round to draft the best QB ever in Tom Brady ??? If coaches are so smart why waste all of your draft stock on Trey Lance and then end up playing Brock Purdy "Mr Irrelevant" - the LAST guy drafted?
Coaches MISS a lot.
Exactly GF many times coaches will go with experience regardless.
