Continuing the discussion from 2017 - F - Jamal Cain (Offer):
Dude, you make this too easy.[quote=“johnmiller, post:84, topic:2219, full:true”]
Ideally, Beilein wants to play 8 and at most 9 guys. He has said that himself. The 9th normally being a third center. It isn’t wrong.

From September 2016:
"Here’s how the rotations have played out with a cutoff of 12% of available minutes (>10% is what kenpom uses to define a rotation player but I’ll bump it up to 12%).
2008: 10
2009: 11
2010: 9
2011: 8
2012: 7
2013: 9
2014: 9
2015: 10 when healthy
2016: 10
Looking at the years with less than 10 it’s clear that Michigan didn’t have anyone else on the roster who was worthy of being in the rotation. I think if he has players who prove themselves to be good enough to play then they will get minutes."
If Michigan has run an 8 man rotation it’s been through necessity with nobody else who would contribute. You can keep pulling up something Beliein may or may not have actually said but his actions speak for themselves. You are just wrong…
