A long time Duke fan. I am getting sick and tired of our revered coach not playing his bench. Is this to pad his stats? And has no one on the coaching staff not yet realized that Zou shouldn't dribble in the post? Flame on.

I wait for a good reason.
What you said was technically correct, but a very small part of the game. Yes, Brian had two turnovers when he put the ball on the floor in the post, but in a game that we won by over 20, where he had a double double, it seems a very odd time to complain about his play. It would be like complaining about Jon having a turnover, when he also has 22 points and 7 assists. (Of course, Jon didn't have a turnover.)
So, you are right if you are expecting people to flame away after you nit-pick a nice performance of a 20 year old kid and complain because a coaching legend likes to develop his starters during the year, as opposed to how you would rather he play the bench more.
“Those two kids, they’re champions,” Krzyzewski said of his senior leaders. “They’re trying to teach the other kids how to become that, and it’s a long road to become that.”
