"I thought Mark (Rawdin), even though he didn't play a lot of minutes, played well," said La Jolla basketball coach Paul Baranowski, looking back at the win over Mission Bay Feb. 17. "I thought Gaynor (Blackmon) played the best ball (he has played recently). He didn't turn the ball over."
Commenting on the seven players he employed against the Bucs, Baranowski said, "The rotation gets smaller the later in the season you get. The kids understand it, even though they may not like it."
The veteran coach explained the rationale for who plays in the rotation: "You have to be able to execute the plan. It's about more than size, ability, or buy-in, but who can actually execute the game plan."
Part of that plan against Mission Bay was limiting turnovers.
