OOTH: Dickerson not starting explanation-

From what I've seen of this team the best offense is loosey-goosey scram ball rather than halfcourt offense. They shoot better during those spurts so a couple more mistakes is forgivable. TD and White excel in it; Uthoff and Olen can play to that style; Jok can too. Of course, good teams are not going to ket iowa play that way for 40
 
Im fine with people saying that a coach should do this or that. Thats part of being a fan.

However Id like to see one person on here that could say-

Im going to start all the underclassmen because after 11 games Ive decided this year is over. Thanks for coming to play at Iowa but Im going to give the younger guys a shot.

Its fine to play a younger player because hes better. Its stupid to play a younger player because he could be better. Also the player in question will not be better than the players that are starting right now. *spoiler*

Totally depends on the gap between the two what each player brings to the table.

Dickerson looked bad no doubt, and is trying way to hard but he does have an element to his game that is completely lacking in our other guards. The ability to blow by a defender off the dribble.

That is something that is A, a necessity and B never going to come from Clemons or Gesel.

To me that element is worth exploring more because it's not coming from anywhere else and the guys in front of him aren't doing much of anything of value
