Not starting Baxter to begin the season is simply a mistake you can't make as a

How about the thought he wasn't ready. Throwing him in too early

BYU71

2/11/19 1:51pm

This is the right answer.

O Gaucho

2/11/19 1:54pm

I get that if he was the qb or point guard he is not. He just needed to come in

Dang, this is a hard choice. Who knows more about coaching BB at

BYU71

2/11/19 2:17pm

Some of the games with DNP or really low minutes he was injured

2/11/19 3:30pm

So wait, you think the best way to get someone confidence is to play them

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:35pm

Could not agree more. This was obvious from day 1. I realize Baxter may have

Go back and read CB the day after Cougar Tip-Off game

ColoSpgs

2/11/19 2:02pm

I missed that game but i saw the Nevada game and liked what I saw. Showed more

johnnybyu

2/11/19 2:04pm

I was too harsh on Baxter early on. In my defense though, he missed some lay ups

Every fan of every team get bent out of shape when a player emerges that he

And then if he would have played him early and he tanked, the same guys would

Baxter has been better from game 1 than Worthington

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:13pm

Not even close. Even in the last game subbing Worthington for Baxter was a solid

puntersarepeople

2/11/19 4:40pm

One data point out of the whole season

Hinta

2/11/19 4:56pm

True, but to say Baxter has clearly been better than Worthington the whole time

puntersarepeople

2/11/19 5:04pm

I disagree. He wasn't ready.

JuicyJam

2/11/19 1:54pm

He played well in games 1 thru 6. What wasn't he ready for?

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:20pm

Idk man. I'd rewatch those games at the beginning you thought he did well on.

JuicyJam

2/11/19 4:45pm

Why do you think it is crazy that I have an opinion of getting the most

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:48pm

Your opinion is just extreme.

JuicyJam

2/11/19 6:08pm

Baxter himself said he wasn't ready earlier.

basman

2/11/19 2:05pm

shhh...don't add facts to the discussion...

Fdnman

They mentioned that the last telecast.

BlueFreak

2/11/19 2:18pm

With all due respect. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Adrielle

^^^^^^^^ this

puntersarepeople

2/11/19 2:28pm

LOL, perhaps your "source" has some bias on the situation

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:32pm

We need you as the head coach and we need you bad. Considering you know so much,

Refugee

2/11/19 4:47pm

I love people like you that think that coaches are infallible and never

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 5:05pm

Him laughing at you doesn’t mean he thinks coaches are infallible

puntersarepeople

2/11/19 6:09pm

So...

Do you understand the whole causation and correlation thing? Nevermind.

So in other words, You have no idea how the game of basketball is played.

Adrielle

2/13/19 9:15am

It wasn't meant as a slight to you, just laughing at the way you called him out.

tony

2/13/19 10:15am

We need an eye roll emoji. None of the existing ones quite express it.

Colorado

2/11/19 2:23pm

I disagree - he wasnt ready, physically, mentally, skills-wise, who knows but

BYUfan92

2/11/19 2:46pm

So many factors fans know nothing about. Not to mention his mission legs.

Lance71

2/11/19 2:49pm

How many early practices have you watched?

cougrrrr

2/11/19 2:50pm

I've been critical of Rose, but this is a silly, silly take.

The Y's Insider

2/11/19 2:57pm

I heard he didn't know how to put on his Basketball shoes by himself at first

Scooter

2/11/19 2:58pm

Look at his PT: 1st 5 games avg 14 min/game. 10 of next 13 avg < 6 min/game,

Hinta

2/11/19 3:55pm

Or, instead of breaking out, he might have just broken down.

Lance71

2/11/19 4:07pm

Or maybe he would have been hit by a meteor

Hinta

2/11/19 4:14pm

Odds are just as good to get hit with a meteor whether he was playing or not.

Lance71

2/11/19 4:17pm

Some players improve by practicing. Or so I've heard. I'm no expert.

Mojojojo

2/12/19 2:35pm

LOL, Baxter was absolutely horrible in the early season. He's come a long way.

ArchbishopMitty

2/11/19 5:35pm

My take: He should have started Baxter sooner, but he was right to not start him
